44 Chapter 40 ~ Monitoring Magi 2/4 (1/2)
…
Moon Blood Troll, a unique enemy rarely seen in the deepest part of the undead land. They run all alone across far distances to seek out each their own and kill them. A cannibal to the core.
Highest rated lore in her past life: once betrayed by their own kin, they seek out the help of the demon king to resurrect themselves from the living into the undead and become their servants of the dead. Moon Blood, they live within the night amidst the blood of their own kin.
Holding her chin in confusion, Siola witnessed an even more shocking event than the encounter. The knight is expected to lose, however, she didn't expect something like this would happen. ”Hmm… that thing really is bowing to me, but why?”
The moon blood troll bowed before her avatar.
When she wonders about it, a familiar voice appeared behind her. ”The Abyss, hon.”
Siola's eyes widened as she shuddered by the sudden tapping on her shoulder. ”K-Konig? Ah, no, I mean…” quickly standing up from her seat, she bows before her, ”L-Lady Konig, why are you here?”
”Ooh, so polite. I love it. Many people won't even put a Lady next to my name anymore.”
Scratching the back of her head, Siola was embarrassed yet at the same time, glad that she addressed her that way. Konig then proceeds to walk around, explaining it to her as she looks at the screen.
”Your relationship with the Abyss has reached a degree that you can also considered… their member. Slave status is meaningless, honey. In comparison, that status is like a general without an army to the humans… in your case, a Sorcerer as they called it.”
Siola didn't respond. Because there is much that is yet known, she tries to assess each and every word Konig is saying.
”I supposed I won't need to explain what a Sorcerer is, yes? They wield powerful magic is all that you need to know. The Abyss always stood at the top of the food chain when it comes to the strongest dark neutral faction. Though, now they are on the dying side. Quite ironic, isn't it?”
”The undead has taken over them, not to mention… the dark lords” pausing for a moment, ”Do you know about them, hon?”
The dark lords, Siola remembers not much of them as she's never actually seen them before. ”There are 7 of them, no? I heard they ruled most of the dungeons that exist in Ekolia. Not only that, but they have also formed an allegiance with the demon king.”
Konig then responded, ”Hmm… their members are indeed seven. Though many of their underlings have similar powers, but none of them is… err, combat type as you travelers called it.”
”Here, have a taste, hon.”
”Huh?”
Konig swayed one of her hands, rotating smoothly like a flowing river. Sparkles of dark green magical energy warped around it and then she flicked them to Siola's forehead.
As Siola opened her eyes, a surge of powerful aura emits from inside her. The dashingly black hair lengthen into white and spiked to the back. She rubs her hand, feeling up the new power she just got. Something is amiss, her heart is beating fast in excitement, yet having the said power… making it hard to swallow her saliva.
”You feel it, don't you? Those bugs crawling up your skin, dripping their poison at your lungs. All of those are a sacrifice they made in order to gain that power. For what you might ask.”
