Monster Soul Online

Chapter 30: Star Swallow Skill

The more Sila played with Lookhin, the more it became docile. Sila thought that it wasnt a mistake to buy it.

Lookhin hovered around. Although it wasnt that fast, it was obviously quicker than a normal bird. However, Silas eyes werent keener than normal peoples, so he didnt notice this difference.

Do you want to try flying outside? said Sila.

Lookhin landed itself on Silas shoulder and used its head to rub Silas cheek gently. Sila was charmed by its loveliness so he decided to go out although it was currently 2 AM.

Sila went out of the room and found himself in the bank. Although it was still opening, there were not many players using its services right now. There were only two people that upon Sila leaving the bank, they started whispering something.

Sila had to be surprised when he got out. There were more than ten players wearing armor blocking his way. Sila stopped his feet in front of the group, ten meters away.

Excuse me, could you please let me through? politely said Sila.

Are you Sila? said the man in red armor.

Sila frowned. He observed these guys and found that there was a symbol of two swords crossing, making an X shape, embroidered on their collar. It was not a white dragon symbol so they were not likely to be Heaven Dragon guildmates.

Yes, thats me. What do you want from me? replied Sila.

Then, the man made eye contact with the others. Their group began to spread in a circle around Sila.

Sila realized that a battle was likely to occur so he wanted Lookhin to flee; then, it flew away without him having to speak his order out loud. It flew to land itself on a signpost that wasnt far away from him.

You have no room to talk, you bastard. For a toad that wants to eat goose meat like you, well teach you some manners today for our leaders sake. That man said while all of them took their weapons out.

T/N: Toad that wants to eat gooses meat is a proverb, referring to someone who overrates oneself. Its mostly used to say to an average man who aims to go out with pretty woman.

Sila still didnt understand. This mans words were so nonsense. Sila also didnt know why this man had to tell something in a proverb. Sila wasnt sure since he hadnt heard this proverb before, but it seemed like this man was accusing him of eating something he shouldnt eat. Sila couldnt remember himself snatching somebodys food to eat. Even if he did that, it was just food. Do these guys have to assemble and gang up on him over it?

Sila couldnt tolerate this nonsense. He circulated Tortured Soul throughout his whole body. His eyes shone mysteriously. They looked just like the eyes of an evil spirit.

The opponents realized that Sila was trying to resist. Seeing that, they laughed.

Is this new player trying to resist them? Shouldnt he get on his knees and beg for his life instead?

Arrogant bastard! Do you think you can defeat us? said the guy who seemed like a leader of the gang.

Sila didnt answer their question. He stood firmly like a rock, waiting for his opponents to make the first move.

One of the opponents came forward alone. In his hand was a flame red sword that was so sharp it could even cut metal off easily.

The rest of them were still waiting. They all came from the Main Continent. Although they were underlings, they all thought beating the crap out of a single new player should be childs play. Based on what they had seen, this guy even had to be pulled onto the stage by Goddess of Purified Water. This meant his ability was poor. The reason he was a winner of the event must have been due to Varees ability alone.

They were low-leveled players of the Royal Armament Guild.

By the way, Sword Emperor, their guild leader had been persuading Varee into his guild for a long time. However, Varee kept rejecting his offers.

Since he didnt want to forcefully make her join his guild, he gave Varee a time to reconsider; hoping that someday she would change her mind and join it.

Then, one day, he had heard that Varee had brought her lover into the game. The Sword Emperor was among the top players in the game with a high reputation but he loses to a no-name new player. This thought irritated him. However, as expected of the Sword Emperor who was a guild leader, he didnt panic and just calmly ordered his men to gather information on the player named Sila.

Nevertheless, his men had gone one step further. They wanted to kill Sila a few times to please their leader so that they might be promoted to a higher position in the guild. Fame and money would come later. Killing a single newbie would get them a lot of benefits. They would be a fool if they didnt take such an easy job like this.

They had waited for Sila and Varee to separate. After that, once they had seen Sila entering a bank, they gathered friends ready to gang up on Sila. By the way, they had gathered only around ten people since it would be easier for them to distribute the shares.

These guys expected the best. But there was an obstacle they werent aware of; it was a fact that Sila wasnt a new player unable to put up a fight. Actually, they could already anticipate it from the fact that his bounty hadnt been claimed yet. However, everyone here ignored that fact.

Meanwhile, Sila was disappointed. He noticed that his opponents were full of confidence and wore not bad equipment. Sila had thought that they would be strong, but it was a letdown for him to see the opponent running at him was so slow and full of openings.

This is Millennium Flame Sword, an item in B grade that gives its victim a burn wound. You will feel torture without a way to cancel its effect until you died. Hahaha, you will have to get on your knees and beg me to end your life. He said all that while running forward. The way he was able to say this long sentence indicated how slow he and his sword were.

The sword was aimed at Silas forehead. Anyway, Sila was bored. After the fight at the beach, these minor fights didnt cause him to feel excited anymore. He didnt even have to use Qi of Little Divine Beings. He just moved his body slightly to cause the sword to barely miss his shoulder.

The sword sank into the ground. Sila then used his foot to step on it.

Whether its steel sword or wooden sword, if it doesnt hit a target, its power will become useless anyway. Shame on you to have such a great sword.

That mans face was distorted by anger. He was about to pull the sword to slash at Sila again, but he couldnt lift it up. Not only that, he couldnt even let his hand go of his sword.

Sila used Universe Momentum to chain this mans hand with the sword while using his own weight to press it.

If your abilities are only this much, can you all just suicide? Youre wasting my time here. Sila provoked all of them. Even if he was sure to win this fight, he would gain an upper hand if the battle became a tussle. It would be faster for him to end the fight too.

His provocation worked. The rest of them were all coming at him. Sila didnt wait to use God's Cathedral. His hand gestured circular and pulled all of them to the center before changing his power to become Tortured Soul empowered by Qi of Little Tiger. Immediately, more than ten of them became buried in an iceberg.

Sila suddenly released his power to let their bodies in the iceberg without them dying. He wanted to plant this terrible image in their mind so there wouldnt be these weaklings to disturb him in the future.

Stop right there! shouted the man who wasnt hit by Silas Tortured Soul.

Sila turned his head to the voice. He found that there were two opponents still safe. One of them was the one who had just shouted, while the remaining one was holding something.

Sila glared at the hand of that person. When he realized the object in that mans hand, his fury surged. It seemed like he had been too kind to them.

If you dont want this bird to die, you have to surrender now. That guy said. His grip was about to break Lookhin.

You

Anger surged within Sila. And this feeling was instantly linked to Lookhin.

Although it was just a cute bird, its eyes flashed brightly with green light, the pressure around it became heavy. People around it started to feel uncomfortable. Even Sila, its owner, felt a little pressure. Needless to say, those two guys who were closest to it suddenly became so scared.

What are you doing? Die! The one who hold Lookhin tried to squeeze it, hoping to kill it before it did something.

However, no matter how hard he had squeezed, Looking didnt die. It was just Level 1 brown sparrow but its skin was harder than a diamond. He squeezed it so much that his hand felt painful. In the end, he had to release his grab.

After Lookhin flew out of his hand, it made a sound and many sharp rocks emerged. They pierced through all players there and changed the place into an execution area. Their bodies were torn into pieces. There was only one of Silas opponents left. He was now watching the situation with eyes that couldnt believe all this.

Even Sila had to avoid these rock spikes. When he noticed that there was one survivor left, he grabbed Millennium Flame Sword and threw it at that guy. With this, that guy writhed in pain full of a burning sensation for a while without a way to cancel its effect, before he died. It was just like what the swords owner had said.

All the noise attracted people to come and see the situation. Sila didnt want to stand out so he used Qi of Little Bird to jump along the roofs. He also didnt forget to order Lookhin to follow him.

As soon as he arrived north of town, he stopped. Sila chose this direction because if he went further this way, he would reach the harbor. It seemed like he wouldnt enter the town anymore.

Lookhin followed Sila. Sila was surprised that it could keep up to his speed. But after the second thought, Lookhin was a bird, so it wouldnt be weird that it was able to follow him who used Qi of Little Bird.

How could you do that before, Lookhin? Didnt the shops clerk tell me that you cant fight? said Sila.

Lookhin stood on Silas palm. It didnt say anything and only tilted its head like it didnt understand his question.

Sila didnt know what to do so he opened his system window to check its stat. What he saw shocked him.

The more Sila read, the more he thought that Lookhin development was too fast. Anyway, he was curious. The success rates of Star Swallow were only 0.1% and 0.00001% respectively. So, why did it seem like all his cards that had used to feed Lookhin ended up in success?

Then, the word of his in-game teacher about his lucky trait come in his mind. With that thought, Sila read the detail of Greed Card again.

(S) Greed Card Level 7

Increases the minimum drop rate of all items to 30%.

Increases the minimum drop rate of cards, to 50%.

You will earn 1.5 times more money when defeating a monster.

You have a 0.02% chance of encountering Mammon, the Devil of Greed.

You will earn only 10% of all experience point from now on.

Sila frowned. The cards level had increased and its abilities were better. However, the probability of being able to encounter the Devil of Greed sounded quite unlucky here.

Sila looked at Lookhin that almost got hurt and realized that; although he didnt want it to fight, as long as he couldnt keep it away, it would have a chance for it to be hurt from a stray bullet. Thus, he changed his mind and decided to make Lookhin be potent enough to take care of itself. However, it seemed like the self-defense by Silas definition was slightly higher than the standard.

Actually, this brown sparrow had been created by the Monster Department with good thoughts. Not only was this monster not strong, it couldnt gain experience points through normal means, but its skill Star Swallow was also awkward. No sane person would feed a card to it since the probabilities of success were just 0.1% and 0.00001%. It is like wasting a tremendous amount of money on a monster that has no hope of getting stronger.

But there was one single insane person here who didnt regard the tremendous value of the card. This person was now brought out A-graded Great Millennium Ape and handed it to one brown sparrow.

Lookhin, uses Star Swallow.

At the end of his sentence, brown sparrows body emitted out light full of qi power. Its eyes were shining mysterious green lights.

The legend of a cute yet scary monster started here. Sila had just created a first pet of Monster Soul that could use qi, psychic, and magic at its disposal.
