Monster Soul Online

Chapter 37: A Help from Varee

Sila observed the fight in front of him without blinking. The fight in front of him wasnt at the level he could witness easily. He was focusing his mind into the fight to gain the most experience out of it.

Almost ten minutes had passed. Both Lone Wolf and Montra were still fighting in the sea of flame. Lone Wolfs body emitted golden flames while Montras body was covered by white aura.

Although he didnt show it on his face, Lone Wolf felt pressured. He had thought that with Pride skill, he would be able to finish Montra off with an ability to give a penalty of 52-hour resurrect time to a player. Nevertheless, it didnt work. The effect of his skill was coming closer to an end while Montra still kept self-resurrecting. In normal circumstance, his overall ability was a little below Montra. However, with Montra getting stronger every time he was resurrected, theres no need to guess who the loser will be.

Montra understood his skill more than anyone else. His understanding of Dragon Heart was at maximum. Even with various penalties from Lone Wolfs ability, he was fine. All equipment on him was S-grade and had an indestructible property. He didn't care about losing 1000 level too as it didnt demote his rank. Every time he was resurrected, his rank and level remained at Marquis Rank, Level 1. Losing money wasnt significant either, as he kept most of his money in the bank.

Sila could see that although Lone Wolf was having an upper hand, it was only temporary. Despite Montra dying more than ten times, he was still fine. If Lone Wolf couldnt see through Montras secret to keep resurrecting, he would be bound to lose.

Sila kept watching at Montra to search for his weakness. Finally, he discovered something.

Every time that Montra died and resurrected, his left arm and heart would be slightly glowing. The glowing at heart position is understandable since the skill is named Dragon Heart, but why the left arm?

Looking closely, Sila could see that Montras left arm was significantly paler than other. There was also a familiar symbol written on it. Sila frowned. He couldnt remember where he had seen one before.

Finally, he remembered. He unwrapped the bandage on his right arm and found the exact same symbol written on the Right Arm of the Seal One. Realizing this, he could think of many things.

He had entered this game with ten out of ten painfulness degree, the same as Montra. He had obtained the right arm, so it was not weird for Montra to obtain the left one.

Sila was recalling Bronzes, the weapon shop owner, speech.

His left arm was the embodiment of all ancient spells. His right arm was the defensive innovation from futurity

The left arm is the embodiment of all ancient spells.

Montra was a magic-type player, which was suitable to the left arms ability. It was not that strange from him to obtain some incredible skill. Thinking about it, it was regrettable that he was playing qi-type while the right arm has psychic-type ability.

Lone Wolfs golden aura faded off. The effect of Pride skill had come to an end.

Montra grinned, watching Lone Wolf turned back to his usual self.

Is this all you capable to? teased Montra.

Whatre you talking about? I can keep using it for days. Be ready for it, replied Lone Wolf.

For such a fraudulent skill, theres no way for it to have no weakness. In this game, the more powerful item or skill is, the more restriction they possess. I guess that your skill must at least have a long cooldown, Montra analyzed.

Lone Wolf just smiled without answering. What Montra had said was true. His Pride skill couldnt be used in succession. Moreover, the more he uses it, the more likely for him to go berserk. There was even a chance for Lucifer to appear.

Montra concentrated his magic power into his body. His dragon staff was shaking like it was alive. The eyes of dragon flashed, glancing at Lone Wolf.

It ends here, declared Montra.

Dragon Heavens Ray Montra was about to unleash his spell, but it was stopped midway. He turned to look at Sila. It will be your turn soon, Sila. Dont quicken your dead.

Just now, Sila had ordered Lookhin to fire Golden Needle at Montra to cancel the skill.

Sila stood up. He looked at both Zero and Lone Wolf. The whole mess was his personal matter between him and Montra. It was the time to stop unrelated persons to be involved.

Sila was ready. He circulated qi over his body. It was painful. But he endured it. He walked three steps closer and declared.

Lets end this.

His qi was overflowing. The sound of his bones cracking was echoed. He also faced with unbearable painfulness.

It had ended long ago. You just dont realize it, said Montra. His magic power was accelerating.

Silas right arm was shaken. The same had happened to Montras left arm.

A battle could be decided at any moment.

Stop right there, a familiar voice interrupted. Everyone turned their head to look at the voices owner.

Varee jumped into a battlefield. Lets wait for a war event to decide the victor. Now its not the time.

Varee moves aside, coldly said Sila.

Sila. Right now, you are not Montras match. Just stop the fight for now.

Why do I have to listen to your request, Goddess of Purified Water? asked Montra.

You have your hand full of problems. Its better for you to take care of them, isnt it? Your beloved guild might face great damages otherwise.

Problems?

Just check your guild status message. You too, Cross, replied Varee, turning her head toward Cross.

Cross, who had tried to use his psychic power to hide his presence from Varee, became shudder. Nevertheless, he opened his guild status message as told.

Upon checking it, both Montra and Cross became shocked. Their guildmates currently attacked each other.

What? Why is this happening? Cross confused. Meanwhile, Montra glanced at Varee.

The reason Varee came late was because she had been busy created confusion among the Heavenly Dragon Guilds and the Royal Armament Guilds members. She had disguised herself as the Royal Armament Guilds member and had her friend disguised as the Heaven Dragon Guilds member. Then, they infiltrated both guilds and instigated them to attack each other. Once the fights happened, she left the battlefield and come to rescue Sila.

Cross stopped taken aback. He immediately withdrew. He had temporary set his guild status message to block all notifications so that he could take care of Sila all he wanted. Now his priority was to stop the meaningless fight. He wouldnt let his people died uselessly more than it should be.

Montra stood expressionlessly in front of Sila. I can just go once I finish killing you people.

But you dont have that much time, I think? Although you might be able to kill all of us, if we join forces, we can keep you here for all day, said Varee. If you dont hurry, the guild you have been painstakingly created might face with an irreversible damage, no?

Montra frowned. He was looking at Lone Wolf. Lone Wolf, do you become so low that you want to join forces against one person?

Lone Wolf didnt answer, but Zero replied in his stead.

Kuku. Arent we a wrongdoer? Isnt this a battlefield? Anything can happen, right? Zero said.

Montra was speechless. Zero borrowed his own words to bite back at him.

Why? Montra asked Sila.

Sila couldnt answer. He didnt understand what Montra meant.

Why does everyone always stand by your side? Both this time and before.

Sila was clueless about Montras sentence. Before? Does he mean the previous duel between us? Sila started to think that there was something more than he had known. Who was the one at his side? Didnt he fight alone?

Next time, you wont be so lucky, Sila. Montra ended their conversation. He cast some spell and disappeared from anyone sight.

Sila withdrew his qi back. The pain still kept hurting him. He had to sit down and circulated Recovering Qi again.

A short time had passed, once Sila opened his eyes, he found that everybody was still waiting for him. There was one more woman in the group though.

This woman is beautiful and gave a mature vibe. Her hair was long. She was wearing mage clothes. In her hand was a small staff. Sila was staring at her without blinking.

Are you feeling okay? Lone Wolf asked.

Sila still stared at that woman. Varee started to introduce her to the group.

Everyone. She is Vata, my senior at the university. Its thank to her help that I can instigate both guilds to attack each other.

Hello, Im Vata. Um does my face stain with something, Little Brother Sila?

Sila just came to his sense. Sorry, Im being rude, its just that you are looking like one of my acquaintance.

People ignored this topic. Varee started explaining what she had done, which caused Zero to giggle. Meanwhile, Lone Wolf was feeling like Silas injury wasnt normal. He then put his palm on Silas shoulder to inspect.

Isnt this Bomb Lurking Psychic? Its quite serious. It has spread throughout your body.

Yes. I got it when I fought against Shueria. Although I have won, I was injured.

Kuku. To be able to win against Silver Knight Shueria, Silver Knight, you are quite good. I can see the reason why Lone Wolf asks me to help you, said Zero.

thats not it. Shueria is superior to me in every aspect. I only won because of strategy.

Kuku. So what? Using strategy in a fight is normal.

Lone Wolf interrupted, By the way, what are you planning to do next, Sila?

My teacher told me that I can remove Bomb Lurking Psychic with Qi of Little Turtles help. I plan to get that first.

Little Brother, let me be honest here. That psychic is spread throughout your body. Even Qi of Little Turtle might not help you.

Silas face was pale. Does he have no choice but to die?

Zero seemed to have some idea. He inspected Sila for a short time, then laughed.

Kukuku. Is it a blessing in disguise? Ive never expected this.

Everyone still didnt understand the reason behind Zeros good mood. They were waiting for him to continue.

Well, this is my personal secret

Upon hearing this, Varee dragged Vata and herself away from the conversation. Then, Zero continued.

Im about to tell you the reason why I can use magic. Previously, as you may know, I was a pure qi-type player like you and anyone else. However, since the last war event, I was defeated by Montra and fled away from the battlefield without dying.

In the last war event, Zero, who was an individual player, could move freely since he hadnt had to care about guildmate. Upon facing defeat, he decided to withdraw. Thus, except Montra who was a victor in the war, Zero was the only Emperor alive. As a matter of fact, Cross and Lone Wolf had died alongside their guildmates.

If you cant win, then flee, its a common strategy in war. I wont ever fight in a sure-to-lose battle. Zero said. He looked at Sila then continued, Of course, theres an opponent that worth fighting against even knowing you would lose. But for me, Montra wasnt that guy.

Once I have fled, I realized later that Montra seeped his magic power into my body during the attack. It kept damaging me from within. I had no way to remove them and left with no choice but to die. However, I didnt give up and went to a certain place to find a cure.

That certain place is rumored to give player a rebirth if one can survive hardship. With this clue, I decided to place my bet on it. By the way, that place is called Madmens Valley.

Sila frowned. He was very familiar with the name of this place. Where did he hear about it before?

I cant tell you more details. I can only say that, once I survived there, magic becomes a part of me and make me significantly stronger. Well, thats all. The rest is up to you to give it a try.

Sila gave Zero his thanks. Afterward, Lone Wolf came at him and transmitted some familiar qi into his body.

This is my Qi of Little Turtle. It should block Bomb Lurking Psychic to spread further. However, you need to know that you wont be able to use qi until you can fix this problem, or else the psychic will act up again.

Sila felt the suppression feeling in his body. Now he couldnt exert his qi anymore. Nevertheless, the pain was gone. He was happy temporary until he realized something.

Whats wrong? asked Lone Wolf.

Now that I cannot use qi, how can I protect myself?

Is qi the only thing you possess? Zero said. Then, he vanished without bidding farewell.

As Zero mentioned, you should give it some thought, okay? said Lone Wolf, I need to go too. See you later. Then, he left.

Sila was left by himself. He was deep in thought.

Aside from qi, what else do I have?
