When they landed in Labunagaan they flew towards a forest area that had many fields.
"If we go that way, it's a pvp zone." said Arba, pointing in front of them where there were many small hilltops with various kinds of black plants.
“Is that Dark Matter?” asked Lily who was looking at the black plants.
"Yes, if you want to harness I suggest you do it now without being disturbed." replied Arba .
Lily thought harnessing was in a peaceful area but that was only because she was below lvl 300. She suddenly felt lucky that she was low lvl and wanted to take advantage of it while she could. That meant she would wait to unlock more Hidden classes.
She went to the black plants and saw that they were black tulips and started harnessing them immediately.
Now it looked like this:
Dark Matter: 100% Light Magic: 100% Flow: 100%
She loved whole numbers because she had some OCD with different things. She went back to Arba and prepared for her quest nervously. The plan was to kill as quickly as possible so as not to attract attention. She equipped with Assassin title which increased her speed by an additional 70%. She equipped herself with The Soul Reaper daggers on his back and looked on just in case:
Master of Disguise: You can hide your face so no one can see you. Duration 5 min. Cooldown 1 day.
She had 5 minutes to hide her identity and her anime mask would probably break if someone attacked her on the spot.
Could she manage to farm 50 people in 5 minutes?
She activated Master of Disguise and said, “I'm ready.”
She heard a ping sound and suddenly she saw a lot of people all over the place. There were a lot of people trying to harness Dark Matter while others tried to attack them at the same time. Some bothered some and others they let it be and it certainly had something to do with their status. She also saw that many were in small groups. There were over 100 people present and she was 50 kills short, so it was perfect.
They walked towards the field with quick steps and Lily heard a voice:
You have entered the pvp zone. There are no rules here.
She didn't know if she should go around and ask nicely if she could borrow some kills. Unfortunately, she didn't have time for that. Suddenly a group turned towards her and blinked a few times.
"A monster. Kill it before it destroys the plants.” shouted a man suddenly, pointing at her.
She got confused and ran towards the field but suddenly everyone else also turned and stared at her and started running after her.
“Kill it.” shouted a woman loud enough for all to hear.
Lily ran towards the forest which had a lot of trees to the left and was relieved her assassin speed had saved her. Arba ran beside her as if floating without using his feet. She stopped at a large hill where the moon illuminated the whole area. She turned and waited until she could see them all. When she saw them emerging from the trees, she activated the Blood Moon Festival.
Do you want to lock your targets?
She answered yes immediately and when all 100 people came into view, she heard a sound as if something was being locked.
Suddenly people started walking slowly as if they were zombies and it looked like they were in some kind of trance. They walked slowly towards her and suddenly the white moonlight changed to red, and she turned and saw a huge blood red moon.
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.
Wow, she was completely mesmerized but hurriedly turned to face the people because she didn't have time to enjoy the sight.
As they got closer, a new message popped up:
Will you harvest souls yourself or let the moon do it for you?
She didn't know what that meant and took the first choice and wanted to check out the moon another time.
Suddenly she saw that there was some black smoke coming out of her hands and was reminded of the harness and went to the closest person who was a light-haired cleric class woman and placed her right hand on her head. Suddenly, something white started flying out of her head, which her hand sucked into itself. She felt a warm rush in her body and was almost startled.
So that was how you could harvest souls.
She quickly went around to the others because she didn't dare waste time because who knows if her system would fuck with her now and count down faster.
Nearby stood a man wearing black ninja clothes and a red Oni mask on his head. In front of him lay a pile of a group of people who were all unconscious and they had a lot of bloody wounds on their bodies.
" Tch. Boring harvest. This group was too poor.” he said, exasperated.
Suddenly, he felt something abnormal, and his body started shaking automatically. He knew that feeling all too well and looked back between the many trees.
This aura belonged to a dragon overlord but they had their own territories so it couldn't possibly be them.
Even if he couldn't kill one it didn't hurt to look and hope he wouldn't be killed on the spot. He hurried to run between the trees.
Lily quickly ran around stealing all the souls and when she reached number 100 the red moon disappeared, and the white moon appeared. All the people were lying on the grass, and it looked like they were dead. She had taken their souls so in reality they were dead, but she only saw them as soulless.
Suddenly she heard a ping sound:
Do you want to revive them?
Confused, she looked at her stats and was shocked:
Quests: 0/200 human Time limit: 5 days
“Fuck me.” She shouted out loud, getting angry when she saw it.
It was definitely because she had completed her quest so quickly that the system chose to fuck with her.
Since it was completed, she could well revive them all and answered yes to revive them, but nothing happened and she became confused. She activated Mother of Life but heard a message:
Does not work.
Nothing happened either and she was now still confused again.
“How do I revive them?” she asked.
"The soul orb." replied the system.
She took out the black orb and held it in her right hand. Suddenly an interface appeared that had square rooms like her inventory but instead there were white heads of people in each room. It looked like they were made of white smoke, but they were alive, and their eyes were blinking. So those faces were their souls, but it was confusing.
So, she had to first steal souls to her orb and then place them back into their bodies.
She took out a soul with her left hand and stared at it. It just looked at her like it was completely normal and she felt awkward. She went and found the man's matching face and placed the soul in his body. There were 99 souls and some of them looked alike and since they were all white, she couldn't tell if they had brown or red hair so she had to bet she could guess right.
Potato potato.
She quickly ran around and placed the last souls in the bodies and activated Mother of Life which had an aoe effect.
Will be revived in 5 minutes.
She breathed a sigh of relief and took out the red whistle and summoned Shun, The Scarlet Flame Dragon.
A huge red dragon with a body of living red flames appeared. It had black eyes and black big sharp teeth. It had huge wings and had spikes on its back and its long tail. The big, long claws were black and sharp looking, and it had small horns on its forehead.
She was reminded of a phoenix because the flames on its body were constantly moving.
"My lady. You called me.” it said in a manly voice and bowed to her.
Lily looked at Arba and said, "Let's hurry away." and they quickly jumped on Shun who flapped his great wings and flew up into the sky and away in a hurry.
Between the trees stood the ninja with the red Oni mask and was speechless because he had witnessed the whole scene. He looked at the dead people lying all over the place and looked up at the sky where there had been a huge dragon.
It was strange because the person's aura was on the level of an overlord but it was a female voice that spoke human language so it was a human, but her stats belonged to a monster.
Something didn't add up.
A dragon overlord would never use another dragon as a mount, so it was definitely a person and not a monster.
Who was it?
When Lily got to the portal she dismissed Shun and entered through the portal with Arba and disabled the Master of Disguise on the other side. It had a 1-day cooldown so tomorrow evening at the same time could use it again.
While flying with Arba, she remembered the man who had said she was a monster. So that meant her Master of Disguise made her stats look like a monster which was fine for her when she had to do her quest but in other situations it was bad to use.
It would be cool if there was some other way to get hold of a method where she could hide her identity. When she got home, she saw that no one had gone to bed and assumed that they had been waiting for her.
She went to bed immediately and closed her eyes and smiled because she was proud that her first soul harvest had been successful and knew it would not continue like this.
