[Summary of the three new bosses revealed in the current Moon of d*ath DLC trailer]
1) Knight of Silver Moon, Lord Lykos (Silver Hawk Knight Commander)
(Phase 1 9 Pattern Summary.mp4)
The patterns will likely become familiar after seeing them multiple times, but the moveset mostly seems to be that of an off-beat addict. (The Imperial Palace Sword Method appears in the middle; I’d like opinions from veterans.)
Right before Phase 2, he glows like a hedgehog, which seems like an instant d*ath pattern.
2) Heretic Inquisitor, Miss Ru Chekanya
(Phase 1 Appearance Scene.mp4)
Looks to be a mid-boss in DLC Chapter 1.
As a necromancer, her moveset is hard to grasp, but for now, she seems strong and cute. (The obedience pose is a highlight!)
3) Desert Janitor, Teradux
(Phase 1 6 Pattern Summary.mp4)
She’s a monster that manipulates gravity magic.
As she’s a monster that also appears in the Kaizen World, searching for her directly would make understanding easier.
NaeMe, honestly, how are we supposed to hold out until January?
Even if there are a lot of bugs, it’s okay; just skip the beta test and release it quickly.
[Comments]
– Summary Suggestion
– There are bugs? Just smash your head and start over. What’s the problem?
– Already looking forward to Chekanya doujin, lol.
– Is there a boss being humiliated before the game is even out?
└ Ehehe, everyone is doomed.
– This is going to be really funㅠ But for someone like me with bad hands, it’s hardㅠㅠㅠ
└ Moon of d*ath definitely has an easy difficulty, so it’s fine.
– What is that beautiful Lafabnik map?
– I’ve heard that they’ve increased the multiplayer to 6 players; it would be fun for streamers to collaborate!
– Is NaeMe your friend? From now on, just call her NaeMe.
└ Looking back, the author used respectful language, but it feels unjust, lol.

I defeated Miss Ru Chekanya and freed Hibirisu from the cross.
WareSoft really captured the fact that the damned ones have a f*tish for crosses as a group.
“Thinking about it, it seems like we rarely take the normal path.”
“You just realized that now?”
“Indeed, it wasn’t the normal path, was it?”
After one hour of playtime, new Moon of d*ath player Monica belatedly caught on.
We jumped over roofs, crossed cliffs, and swam through underwater caves to break through shortcuts.
So far, the only bosses we’ve encountered have been Lord Lykos, Miss Ru Chekanya, and the giant monster Teradux.
How could I know it was a shortcut when I’ve never played the game?
Let’s just chalk it up to the intuition of an old player.
“Hmm… where are we?”
As we exited the Lafabnik Fortress, Hibirisu opened her eyes.
Finally, is she going to contribute?
“I was taking you to Wilhelm Village.”
“Father, what about you?”
Papa girl Hibirisu cried out her father Brooks’ name today as well.
“Mr. Brooks is protecting the village. But the situation isn’t good. The empire has classified Wilhelm Village as heretical, so we must wait for the Prague army to join us as soon as possible.”
“By the way, Hibirisu, I have a question. Did you happen to have a pet like a pterosaur? A really big bird.”
“I-I don’t know…”
“Are you dodging because it’s a monster? We heard everything from Pterosaur. He asked us to save you.”
“Oh.”
Hibirisu hesitated but eventually spoke.
“It’s a monster that I sometimes fed in Wilhelm Forest. That’s all.”
“The pterosaur died trying to protect you, pierced by a spear.”
“Ugh…”
“Why are you so overly sensitive now? It’s just a mere monster that harms people. In the end, you used your powers to control it to d*e in its place. Is there any reason to feel sympathy?”
I provoked her by tapping Hibirisu’s shoulder.
She showed a dissatisfied expression and clenched her fist.
Additionally, her eyes glinted with a deep green color.
‘Before long, she’ll be overwhelmed by corruption.’
Even though we arrived relatively quickly, the level of danger was still considerable.
If it had been the usual route, Omans would have descended by now.
During our conversation, my gaze drifted sideways.
Kuuooohhh—!
A scorpion bear monster burst through the sand dunes.
Green poison dripped from its tail.
“Ahhh! What the—? Is it a monster?”
“NaeMe, should we fight or run away?”
“Wait a moment, I’ll handle this.”
Hibirisu crossed her hands and chanted a spell towards the beast.
“In the name of Omans, I declare. Suppress the instinct to k*ll. I shall comfort the hatred and loneliness you possess. Return to nature and uphold the joys of the earth.”
Prrrrr—
The monster that was fiercely charging towards us slowed down and lay down in front of us.
The monster snored as it fell asleep, gradually dissipating its magical energy and breaking down into nature.
Monica blinked her eyes in amazement.
“Wow, what’s the principle? That’s amazing. I want to learn such magic if it exists.”
“Did you figure it out on your own? Or did Miss Ru Chekanya teach you?”
“It seems like you know everything. I’m not sure if I can trust you, but I don’t have any other options… The spell was taught to me by the Heretic Inquisitor.”
“Spell? Heretic Inquisitor?”
“That white-haired kid from earlier is the Heretic Inquisitor. Not at all a child.”
In the 9th year of Emperor Hiasen’s reign, they began to discover the methods of manipulation over erosion across the continent.
Once erosion enters the realm that humans can handle, it becomes a weapon not for disasters but for mutual assured destruction.
They thoroughly concealed the secret that it would explode on its own after some time.
Instead, they sent soldiers to use hosts.
“What I said earlier, I apologize, Hibirisu. Your ability to control monsters is just so unfamiliar to me.”
“I understand. Perhaps I might be the only one in the world who possesses such an ability. May I ask for your name?”
“It’s NaeMe. This is Adella and Monica.”
Hibirisu’s actual history was tragic.
The village was not safe like Kaizen World, nor were we rescued like in Moon of d*ath.
Deceived by the Heretic Inquisitor’s words that if she obeyed commands, she would be reunited with her father, she toiled in the battlefield for a year.
Wilhelm Village had long been purged.
Ultimately, erosion rampaged, resulting in 13 deaths and 86 permanent injuries.
Such horrifying content could not be included in Moon of d*ath.
“Well, this is just a game. Let’s not take it too seriously.”
“Really?”
“It’s nothing. We’re almost there. Shall we go to Wilhelm Village?”
The following story proceeded similarly to that in Kaizen World.
Wilhelm Village had other young people on watch.
Since there were no signs of a fierce battle against Lord Lykos, it was clear that the world line had diverged.
We climbed up to Lake Caldera to search for her father.
Hibirisu picked flowers halfway up the mountain and gifted each of us a pretty flower crown.
“Please get me a heavy flower, NaeMe. Don’t let me grow tall, hehe.”
“A heavy flower? I should have picked sunflowers earlier.”
“Don’t take it seriously. I’m just joking.”
“You’re so kind-hearted, Hibirisu. I’ll treasure it.”
We took a while to enjoy a healing adventure time away from the hardcore ARPG genre.
At the mountaintop, we encountered Brooks, who was guarding his real daughter, Marigold’s grave.
Indeed, he did not remember Hibirisu at all.
“Rather, I have a question to ask. Who are you pretending to be our daughter?”
“I, I…”
Even though I had heard those lines multiple times, a part of my heart felt uneasy.
Saetbyeoni turned her head to look at the distant mountains, and Monica welled up with tears.
The sorrowful voice of Brooks drifted through the night air.
“Even now, when I go to Wilhelm Village, I sometimes dream of my daughter. No, perhaps I dream every day. Especially the more I drink the night before, the clearer the dream becomes. Though Mary is dead, in my dreams, I happily watched my daughter’s growth. But when I think about it…”
“Ugh.”
“Why does my daughter in the dream overlap with this child’s face? There isn’t a single resemblance to our daughter.”
“Dad, don’t you remember me? How many years have we spent together?”
Suddenly, the atmosphere turned chilling.
Hibirisu’s voice was unexpectedly enhanced with an echo.
Kiiiii—!
Pterosaur monsters appeared at an altitude of over 2000 meters.
Flapping massive wings, they surrounded us.
Brooks panicked and drew his sword.
“I can’t trust neighbors, friends, or even family. Ugh… I can’t trust…!”
Kiiiruk-!
Responding to Hibirisu’s troubled emotions, the monsters became even more rampageous.
‘They’ll explode soon; should I jump off the mountain now?’
I scanned the terrain for any escape route, but…
Fortunately, a savior arrived just in time.
[Casting: Dragonian Tenebra]
The trembling shadow.
In a vintage maid outfit, Black Dragon Luri slowly emerged from the head.
However, she brought along an unnecessary unwelcome guest.
A witch with wavy blonde hair cascading over her chest appeared alongside her maid.
[4 Circle Casting: Gravity Adjustment]
[5 Circle Casting: Arabesque Knot – Explode (爆)]
[5 Circle Casting: Chain Light Amplification]
[6 Circle Casting: Hellfire]
Kwahhhhh-!
With a single quadruple casting, dozens of medium-sized aerial monsters fell from the clouds.
“Wow, I’m already meeting my sister here? You came to save me!”
“Sister…?”
Saetbyeoni clasped her hands in awe of the magic.
I pulled her sleeve, drawing her closer.
“What are you doing? She’s just an NPC.”
At my words, the witch glared at us angrily.
Just an AI trying to act all high and mighty.
The witch from the east who resolved the situation, Esteria.
She calmly surveyed the surroundings and commanded her maid.
“Luri, I have waited long enough. Now, k*ll Omans.”
“But Mother, I’m not sure about the circumstances…”
“It’s an order.”
“If that is your will…”
“Ugh! Wasn’t that person our ally? NaeMe? NaeMe!”
Monica panicked and stood in front of Hibirisu.
The gaze of my past self and present self intersected.
‘Even I can see she looks stubbornly different.’
I managed to put on a forced smile in a situation where I couldn’t laugh and drew my sword.
“She said she isn’t an ally. Then it’s right to fight.”
[▶Hatchling Luri]
This was the moment when the final boss of DLC Chapter 1 was determined.
