CHAPTER 22: Mission & Side Quests – Legacy of Power & the Rosario Vampire

  After the tournament concluded and Fran was crowned champion, the atmosphere at the MystQuest Detective Agency HQ grew increasingly busy.

  Hasyalys and Dr. Nadia gathered in the underground experimental chamber, now upgraded with a state-of-the-art laboratory system born from the fusion of Earth technology and ancient vampire heritage.

  Hasyalys:

  “If this experiment succeeds, the device won’t just stabilize vampire power… it will also preserve fragments of my father’s Phoenix fire legacy.”

  Dr. Nadia tapped across a holographic control panel, analyzing the energy structure extracted from a Phoenix feather.

  With a final press of a luminous button—

  A new artifact materialized.

  Rosario Vampire Mk.02.

  It took the form of an X-cross pendant, with a blazing crimson core burning at its center.

  Dr. Nadia:

  “This one is for Fran. Its power is anchored to the flame of his own soul. Prolonged use could overload his heart… but if he synchronizes it with the vampire blood and Phoenix fire within him…”

  She paused.

  “…he’ll become something close to Lysa in her prime.”

  Hasyalys:

  “Zoarfang and Ritz will receive high-defense variants—perfect for frontline tank roles. Aisha gets a hybrid model. She’s too versatile for anything less.”

  Comedy Segment: Shinin’s Rosario

  Moments later—

  Shinin burst into the chamber, leaping dramatically through the doorway while biting into a piece of VFC fried chicken.

  He froze when Dr. Nadia extended something toward him.

  Dr. Nadia (smirking):

  “This one’s yours, Shinin.”

  Shinin blinked.

  Excitement. Confusion.

  He stared at the object in her hand.

  A gleaming metallic collar… complete with an adorably stylized bone emblem.

  Shinin:

  “…You serious? Is this a vampire artifact or beast equipment?”

  Hasyalys:

  “Don’t joke around. That’s a Rosario Teleport.”

  Dr. Nadia:

  “If any of us are in danger, you can teleport instantly to our location.”

  You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

  She continued:

  “And it’s linked directly to Zedwan’s energy transmitter. One activation, and you’ll channel his werewolf monster power into your body.”

  Shinin nearly dropped his chicken.

  Shinin:

  “No way…!!”

  Dr. Nadia:

  “There’s a cost.”

  Her expression turned serious.

  “When you activate it, Zedwan temporarily loses access to his werewolf form. He’ll only be able to fight using Master Sein’s legacy techniques.”

  Hasyalys:

  “And Master Sein will manifest as a Force Ghost to guide him.”

  Shinin:

  “…Okay, that’s insanely cool.”

  He looked down at the collar again.

  “…But WHY does mine look like a dog collar?!”

  Laughter erupted throughout the chamber.

  Side Quests Initiated

  Several days later, MystQuest’s detective radar detected anomalies of dark energy scattered across remote regions.

  Thus began their first wave of side quests.

  Side Quest 1: Tracking the Lost Magical Relic

  Location: Ruins of an ancient underground city in Tibet / Teyvatra

  Team: Fran, Shinin, Aisha

  Objective: Retrieve a stolen guardian-clan weapon seized by Syavadark agents

  Shinin activated his Rosario Teleport, arriving ahead of Fran and Aisha—

  Still holding freshly fried chicken.

  Within the ruins, he encountered a shadow-like entity…

  Which slowly morphed into a twisted reflection of himself.

  A dark clone.

  Side Quest 2: Defending the Floating City of Nuaria

  Location: Nuaria, the floating city in the Pacific / Oshen’Kai

  Team: Zoarfang & Ritz (support by Shinin via teleport)

  Objective: Stop Syavadark stealth agents from sabotaging the city’s energy core

  Zoarfang and Ritz began developing stronger synergy.

  Here, they unlocked new combination techniques taught by Shinin—

  Including:

  “Vampire Typhoon Claw × Howling Bloody Kick Combo.”

  Side Quest 3: Traces of Vanth Cloning & Stolen Technology

  Location: Abandoned underground laboratory once owned by Valdira

  Team: Hasyalys & Dr. Nadia

  Objective: Uncover the origin of the Vanth Bracelet and its cloning capabilities

  Deep within corrupted data fragments, they discovered a chilling truth:

  Valdira had once collaborated with Yorukira—

  A guardian exiled for betraying her order in pursuit of an Immortal Symbiosis Project.

  A New Arc Begins…

  Each side quest revealed pieces of a greater conspiracy.

  Valdira—once responsible for igniting the catastrophic Dreadmarch War—was gathering fragments of ancient dark powers.

  Her objective:

  Project: Dark Vanth Genesis

  A forbidden hybridization of:

  Vampire.

  Phoenix.

  Alien Symbiont.

  And soon…

  They would uncover a terrifying lead.

  A potential true host for the project.

  Hasyalys’s youngest half-sibling.

  Dark Sky.
