“I hope you all cald down now.”
About three minutes after I dropped the bomb, the chat had finally cald down.
“Well, I had a similar reaction when I got it, so I understand how you all feel. And I still don’t know why Aria’s [Soul] beca this one.”
Clearly, [Lone Moon Callia] was overpowered at the ti of its creation.
The fact that it halves every SP consumption, whether it’s dash, evasion, or arts, ans that it simply doubles the SP status.
SP increases with each level, and it keeps doubling its effectiveness. At low levels, the benefit is small because the starting value of SP is also small, but the effect will only continue to increase.
“Now that we’ve reached a certain level and the WLO environnt has changed so much, I feel that the ti has co for to reveal it to you. I’m sorry that I’ve been hiding it.”
< It’s way too early to reveal at that ti.>
< I’d say it’s a first-kill advantage, but no one’s beaten the Red Wolf until today.>
“It’s true that the first killer had so much advantage when it cos to nad equipnt. Personally, I think that is also one of the most unbalanced aspects of this ga. Also, only the MVP could get the Soul if you attacked the party nad monster. Though this ti is a bit different? I heard that everyone in my party got [Soul].”
Yes, that’s right.
Contrary to what Drago stated as [the first nad weapon owner], only MVPs can obtain the [Soul] as a reward for defeating the party-nad Boss for the first ti.
Of course, there is a possibility of getting it as a rare drop, but it’s called a rare drop because it is hard to drop.
It’s also worth noting that after the first ti, the MVP isn’t guaranteed to obtain Soul as a drop item.
However, this ti, everyone, including A-chan, Drago, and Rou, has reported via Haruru that they had obtained [Soul].
Not the mass-produced ones like the ones dropped by Ars Nova, the giant dragon, but the genuine [Soul of Nocturne, the Moon Wolf of the Beyond].
Incidentally, I was the MVP of the battle against the moon wolves. So naturally, I have it, but even so, it is hard to accept that a lucky drop happens to all of us.
Well, Nocturne was a special monster, even among the nad bosses that only appeared on full moon nights. I don’t know if it was because of that particularity or so of the inner workings, but it was nice that everyone got the rare items. And because of that, there’s no need for jealousy and such.
I don’t think there will be any since that was us, but it was honestly good that the three people who cooperated with got to take [souls] ho.
Especially since A-chan’s weapon was destroyed at the cost of her [Kensei] skill, I could feel her determination to make a new weapon from her ssage. {that Kensei skill cannot use nad weapon tho…}
Drago, who already has two nad weapons, was going to use it to make new ‘usual’ bikini armor, and Rou was going to further upgrade her gothic dress armor by adding in moon wolf materials.
And please don’t tell anyone that I giggled a little as I could feel the excitent of using rare items from each of their ssages.
“I don’t know if Nocturne was special or not, but it’s good that [Soul] is becoming a little easier to obtain, and the threshold for nad equipnt is being lowered. Well, at least to get mine, you will have to win in a one-on-one fight with Aria, Huehehehe.”
< Don’t be absurd.>
< Don’t be so an.>
“With more people trying, I’m sure soone will be able to beat her. Aria is not without her weaknesses.”
Aria, the lone red wolf. The most important thing to point out is that the HP of that nad bosses is unbelievably low.
Of course, Aria is a solo Nad Boss, so I am sure that her HP will get stronger according to the player’s level. Still, I think the ratio should remain the sa even if the total amount increases.
The eyes to see her movent, the skills to receive her attack, and the ntal strength to endure long hours of battle.
And as long as you have the ans to defeat its trump card, anyone has a chance to defeat it.
There is absolutely no such thing that only I can defeat them. The number of people who have been in the ga is just too small, but from now on, even Aria will be defeated in various ways.
“Well, let’s move on. Look, I’m going to examine the item one by one; I had prepared to show the nu card, but then I realized, isn’t it better if I direct this display to a hologram?”
< I Was waiting for this.>
“We don’t. The only thing we know without taking a closer look is the Soul. After all, we’re the first to fight it, and there’s no way to analyze the drop probability.”
The experience value and iris items are lined up in a row, along with the title and level gain ssage that I have earned after that battle.
I may not have gotten this many items in one battle since I defeated Aria.
Many of the big bosses I’ve fought since then, like the Golden Knight Gordo and Ars Nova, have dropped items that were pretty generic, after all.
“Hmm?”
When I looked at the drop list, there was a strange description.
I rubbed my eyes, wondering if I was looking at the wrong thing.
No matter how tired I am, my eyes never misread things, but I saw a strange string of text that made do so unintentionally.
“Huh…..?”
< What’s wrong?>
“No, it’s just that there are three… moon wolf [souls] that have dropped.”
“Is this a bowl of rice with a bowl of rice topping?”
{you bugged}
☆
“Hmm… but why…….”
< Isn’t this too much?>
“Well …… it’s also possible that there’s a fixed reward for the first MVP and a separate fixed drop for party mbers like the other three all got, plus they simply got lucky and picked up a rare drop?”
< It’s a stroke of luck.>
< Isn’t it too much for a rare drop?>
< Can’t you see the breakdown of the three?>
Before being confused about the whole ridiculous situation, I discussed it with the viewers and thought about it calmly again, and ca to the conclusion that [it is not strange… in theory].
One thing certain is that I have obtained the [souls] for the first-ti defeat reward.
But, it is certainly not impossible to expect that all mbers of the party would have given a fixed drop since all the mbers of the moon-wolf battle, including A-chan, had obtained it.
And the other one is that I simply happened to roll a rare drop.
That would explain why there are three souls being dropped.
“Still, this sll like a bug, doesn’t it?”
When I heard that A-chan and the others were all able to obtain the Souls, I thought it was because the rewards for the first round of defeats were now given to everyone in the party.
Of course, I expected that sothing like the MVP reward would at least be sothing other than [Soul]. Since they’re doing equal distribution ans that there would be no MVP reward itself, but [Soul] is not an item that can be collected in two at once by a single player due to its absurd performance.
I can accept that it is a matter of luck that you can get both the rare drop and the confird reward, but the confird reward for the party and the MVP reward for the first ti should not be overlapped.
I feel like it’s a glitch, like the old rules and the new rules have beco weirdly triggered at a ti when we’re getting the “first guaranteed reward for everyone in the party” thing.
< I’ve seen it happen before, lol>
< It’s a hell that all system operators go through.>
< I’ve heard that AI updates and managent updates are independent of each other.>
“There is no ssage from the managent regarding Nocturne, or maybe managent doesn’t know what’s going on yet. I’ll make an inquiry later. If there had been at least two drops, I could have just said I was lucky, but this… I’m getting worried.”
< That’s so sad.>
“I’m not sure how I’d use three… First, I’d use one for weapons, one for armor, and the only thing I haven’t touched is accessories, but they’re low on priority. How about having a stronger projectile item made as a sub-weapon?”
I thought about it a lot, but honestly speaking, I was at a loss as to how to use the souls this ti.
My equipnt had just been updated just before the battle against the moon wolves.
I had only used the Ouma and the Red Wolf Attire Alter during the Moonlit battle. And, of course, they were such good equipnt that I only needed one battle to approve their quality.
The SP effect of Ouma has a great synergy with the SP halving of [Lone Moon Callia], and thanks to them, I don’t have to worry about running out of SP at all.
The Red Wolf Attire Alter raised my agility as well as my magic defense, giving a rock-solid defense.
Putting aside the other small items, these two pieces of equipnt were without a doubt the best of the best, and their performance was enough to kick any other famous equipnt out of the park.
Well, my physical status is actually equal to level 140 if you count the race-specific equipnt, and since I am wearing equipnt that makes full use of that status, it is natural to say that I am over-tuned.
Nad equipnt is certainly strong, but just because the performance of the equipnt is a few levels higher than the Boss’s level, it is not that OP.
Well, I may not be so persuasive when I say so since I have [Lone Moon Callia], which is a broken piece of equipnt…
Nocturne, the Moon Wolf of the Beyond. Her level was 150.
What I had was the material dropped by a nad monster of such a level. Even without the existence of its Soul, she is clearly over-tuned for this current progression.
The first nad Boss defeated in this ga, [Arozu, the Griffon of the Azure Sky], was about level 60. The current trends are that equipnt made from this monster, which has circulated in a large amount, reigns supre as top-class general-purpose armor.
Even if we simply look at it, their difference in level is 90, so naturally, the value of the material also differed that much.
And considering how to power the effect of the [Soul], if I am not careful, it may beco equipnt that can be used up to level 200 or so.
I’m in already in a class of my own in terms of status, and if I strengthen my equipnt even further, the only thing waiting for in the future may be a ga of ‘nothing.’
“I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to use it to strengthen my equipnt.”
< There’s no point in being in a hurry.>
“No, it’s fine for people to find out, and it’s already exposed because we’re streaming anyway! In any case, I don’t think that I will upgrade my equipnt. The most enjoyable part of the ga for is the combat. I don’t want it to get too easy.”
< You’re a fighting maniac, aren’t you?>
< She’s the blunt type ogre girl.>
“Please forget about Hisui incidents….”
< That’s why I was against her participating in VSTG tournants (VR Shooting Ga).>
< There’s so rumor about it in the VSTG community, you know.>
That was unexpected, perhaps because I haven’t said “I want to do this” or “I want to do that” during my own stream so far, but most of my viewers didn’t force to do anything more than I expected.
Of course, since there are many people who have comnted, a tiny fraction of them did, but they are such a small minority that you can’t read and find them unless you are conscious of them.
I’m sure a lot of people are trying their best, but it seems that viewers adapt to the atmosphere of this channel better than I expected.
In fact, they even seed to be actively trying to make it more relaxed.
“I heard that there will be more dungeons with higher difficulty levels, so I’ll make equipnt as needed. Even when I want this or that, I can’t make it without the materials.”
< I’ll leave the decision to you.>
< You’ll have to try to use a bow or sothing.>
< Let’s make sunglasses.>
< Can’t we make ‘just for fun items?>
< I’d like to see spears.>
The only thing that was loosely decided was the policy, so for the ti being, the general conclusion is to keep the three “souls” instead of using them.
And I also found so other interesting materials in the drop.
“Fur, claws, fangs… and bones…. and then the [Moonlight Treasure]? Oh, this one is Epic in rarity.”
< It’s a little outshined by the souls, but it’s still a great rarity.>
< It’s an attribute crystal, huh?>
“Higher? Oh, you an it’s the sa rank as [Hellfire]? True, I think that’s what it is. I think this might be the best drop aside the Soul.”
I took it out of the item box and found it to be a beautiful moon-colored jewel. It is about the size of a large candy ball, and I could gulp it if I wanted to, but I didn’t because I couldn’t eat it anyway.
I think they are quite rare, but the [Soul] really outshined it.
I think Haruru told before that there are so catalysts that are compatible with attribute crystals. For the fla attribute, it could be red tal or flare tal, or sothing like that.
So is there sothing like moon tal, or can the nocturne material itself be used as a catalyst?
It seems that it is not sothing that can be used quickly, even if you want to use it right away.
“As for the title… I got The [Lunar Wolf Compassion] for defeating Moon Wolf and [Nad killer] for defeating all types of Nad in a solo, party, and raid. All of these title effects just increase the likability of NPCs~.”
“There are no strong titles, are there?”
“[The woman who keeps raising the NPC’s likability.]”
“Isn’t she almost like a hero to the average NPC?”
“She’s raising the likability of NPCs again.”
“I guess so. Well, only the ones you get when you raise your skills can be useful in battle….”
Until now, I’ve never received a strong title from a nad boss, so it’s probably intended.
Or maybe it’s just that much more important to get a likability rating. It’s not sothing I can quantify or see, so I’m just guessing.
< anything else?>
“Yeah, they’re dropping rare skills too. Let’s see…”
“You beat really Nocturne. You’re growing up nicely.”
“……!?”
Suddenly, a voice is heard.
It was a voice that suddenly ca from right behind as I was playing with my nu card.
It’s impossible for not to notice, no matter how much I’ve let my guard down, no matter how much I’ve restricted my senses.
But the voice is there, right behind ; without a single sound, sign, or change in the air, it suddenly appeared.
Even though I was in a virtual space, I felt as if I was drenched in sweat.
The reason why I didn’t react imdiately was that I recognized the voice.
It wasn’t Rou. This one presence was different from her special stealth because it completely obliterated any sign, completely erasing its existence.
One wrong move and this village could be destroyed. The one behind emanating that kind of murderous intent.
I gulped once, and without turning around, I muttered the na of the person with a twitch in my throat.
“lty…… Bloodheart……?”
“Yes, so you rember? I comnd you, my beloved little Oni-god.”
I would never know what kind of expression she had on her face until I saw her.
The world’s strongest vampire said those words in a cheerful tone of voice as she gently ran her slender fingers along my neck from behind.

It’s been a while.
