Survive as a Prison Guard in the Game

Chapter 176
Demon People Project (3)

Burning Hell.

Rukel sat in his chair in his office, preparing for the meeting. It had been a long time since the Council of the Six Kingdoms. There was an important agenda today.

Rukel checked to see who was connected to the communication orbs.

Rebecca of the Adrian Kingdom.

The Mercenary King of the Kingdom of Carvin.

The Blue Tower Lord of the Kingdom of Resha.

The Crane Kingdom was unresponsive.

The Holy Empire was represented by a saint herself.

And then the final orb, the one from the Ravino Kingdom, lit up.

-My name is Fabian, the second prince of the Ravino Kingdom

The prince who joined Cerberus.

He was reported to have been slain in the pursuit of a Vampire, but when he last saw Redin, Rukel learned of their secret.

“What is the situation in the Kingdom of Ravino?”

Even the other kingdoms were unaware of the situation in Ravino, as there had been no contact for quite some time.

Fabian briefly recounted.

The traitor to the Kingdom was the Crown Prince, and after he killed them, he was unable to attend meetings for a while in an effort to stabilize things in the Ravino Kingdom.

-Fortunately, the Ravino Kingdom has suffered minimal damage from the Demon Church.

“You stopped them on your own?”

-Yes.

Rukel nodded and returned to the main topic of the meeting.

“I understand that most of the kingdoms are now stabilized.”

Redin leading the front.

A special unit composed of the Holy Empire’s Paladins and prisoners who had been newly created was performing remarkably well.

They’d managed to destroy 8 of the 12 Demonic Gates, and in the process, killed 8 Apostles.

All that remained were the four gates and the four apostles.

Already Redin and the others were mobilizing to deal with them.

There was but one thing for the remaining kingdoms to do.

“We will organize a strike force and seek to locate the main headquarters of the Demon God Church, and erase it from the world once and for all.”

-Have you found the main base?

To the Blue Tower Lord’s question, Rukel responded.

“We will form a search team for that purpose and look for the main headquarters while reorganizing our frontline.”

-I’ll do the searching, it’ll take a while, but I can find it.

“How are we going to find it?”

-By using my abilities, I can even locate those hiding underground. The search is already in progress.

Rukel nodded his head.

“Then I’ll trust you with that. Also, I would like to seek the help of the six kingdoms in forming the strike force.”

As a result of the current war, each Kingdom suffered a significant loss of their main forces.

They need to produce new talented individuals.

“With the support of the nations, we’re going to establish a special training center, where we’ll train a new generation of troops to fight against the Demon God Church.”

However, for this to proceed.

All the kingdoms needed to be in agreement.

Rather than creating an equitable pool of talent from all kingdoms, it could lead to a concentration of talent in certain kingdoms.

If that happened, after the war.

It was a sensitive issue that could change the balance of power on the entire Bern Continent.

-The Holy Empire will participate.

-The Kingdom of Adrian will also participate.

-The Kingdom of Ravino will also join.

-The Kingdom of Resha will participate.

-Then we should also join.

The motion passed unanimously.

“Then we will proceed.”

-Where is the location?

Rukel answered the Saintess’ question.

“It will take place in the capital of the former Oberg Empire.”

-Isn’t there nothing there?

“Apparently, a building has been constructed recently by a merchant group close to Redin, and only the finishing touches remain.”

“Urk!”

He overpowered the apostle and used the Sword of Judgment against the demonic gate in front of him. The sword filled with divine power sliced the demonic gate in half and split it into smithereens.

“Keheheh.”

The dying Apostle suddenly laughed and looked at Redin.

“Do you think you have won?”

“…..”

“You’ll soon realize that you were greatly mistaken.”

“What do you mean?”

The apostle laughed and killed himself instead of answering.

Approaching the body, Redin used the [Mask of the Dead].

He read through the man’s memories.

There wasn’t much useful information.

So he asked the apostle a series of questions while in the spirit state.

“What is this mistake you were talking about?”

-The Demonic Gate we’ve created is a fake. The real thing is different.

‘There is a real one?’

“Where is the real Gate to the Demon Realm?”

-It’s in the main temple.

“Where is the main temple located?”

-I don’t know.

“The Apostle doesn’t know the location of the Demon Church’s main temple?”

-The main headquarters of the Demon Church, where the real Gate of the Demon Realm is located, is known only to a very few select ones.

“Is one chosen among the apostles?”

-Yes.

And so the conversation with the spirit ended.

“The main headquarters. The Real Demon Gate.”

So was this all just a show, or did it mean something?

And what was that thing he saw in Burning Hell?

Before Redin could organize his thoughts.

Redin had to stop thinking because he felt the murderous intent pouring in from all sides.

Raising his head, he surveyed his surroundings and saw the Chimera he had fought a few days ago.

Four of them.

The chimeras surrounding him in all directions looked identical.

The chimera that had been looking at him from the north was the first to attack. It created an aura blade with the sword it was holding.

Redin parried the aura blade it formed. Rotating its body, the chimera swung its sword quickly.

*Whoosh*

Redin dodged and parried the attack, raising his senses. There was no telling when the others would jump in. He needed to be careful.

“Heup!”

Dodging the chimera’s attack with the Moonlight Sword, he distanced himself.

He tried to get closer to the chimera in the south, but it just watched from above and didn’t join the fight.

Are they trying to wear him down and then slowly finish him off?

Redin moved forward again and used his dragon magic. He raised the dirt in front of him and crushed the chimera as it advanced toward him.

*Thud!*

A pillar of earth formed where the chimera had been. Not stopping there, he used the power of shadows to create a giant hand.

The black shadowy hand gripped the pillar of earth as hard as it could.

Then, using a half-moon attack, he sliced the pillar in half.

*Crack!*

Between the earth pillar splitting in half and scattering, the chimera appeared. It was cut in half and fell to the ground.

Then the chimera to the east charged as if it had been waiting.

He tried to handle it in the same way, but…

It used magic to blast away the earth and counterattacked.

“It was studying me.”

“Huff…….”

Breathing heavily, Redin stared at the last remaining chimera. Every time one died, the next one grew stronger.

Like they were learning his skills.

While dealing with techniques that could be considered special moves, it pushed back and countered him.

The chimera slowly dropped from the air and planted its feet on the ground.

*Crack* *Snap!*

It tilted its head from side to side and the corners of its mouth turned up.

“Are you Redin?”

It spoke so naturally, unlike the slurred chimeras before it.

“Who are you?”

“Yodun. I was first in the Central League in Purgatory.”

“The first to be defeated by the Apostle.”

“Well, thanks to that, I got this body. I’m satisfied in my own way.”

Yodun gave him a curious look as he relaxed.

“What? You want me to fight now? I’ll do it as I like.”

Someone was giving him orders.

Redin glanced up, but the only presence he could sense in the area was the chimera.

Calmly, Redin inspected the chimera.

Unlike the rest of its relaxed limbs, its eyes were fixed directly on him.

It seemed to be recognizing him.

“I think I’ll have to kill you soon. The chattering of these guys is too loud.”

Yodun formed a sword with demonic energy.

Looks like they intend to go all out right from the start. His current state was beyond the point of recovery, even with the help of potions.

There was only one thing left.

Redin checked the trajectory of Yodun’s sword swinging towards him and slightly turned his body.

He avoided the critical attack and received the blow.

With a long gash across his chest, blood sprayed in all directions. And at the same time, as the wound healed, his body recovered.

Effect of Blazing Soul.

Redin recovered all his health and stamina, and it tripled all his strength for 10 minutes.

*Surge!*

A rush of energy surged through his body.

A skill he used for the first time after breaking through the threshold between life and death. Something felt different than before.

Three times of his current strength.

It was beyond anything he could imagine.

“You’re using something new, huh?”

Yodun flicked the blood off his sword.

Yodun resumed his stance and exuded a fierce murderous intensity.

There was no point in wasting time.

Unlike the other chimeras, Yodun is in a state where his soul and the physical body are perfectly fused.

Due to the nature of chimeras becoming stronger over time, the longer it goes beyond 10 minutes, the higher the probability of him losing.

Before that, he had to finish the fight.

Using the Moonlight Sword, he erased all traces of himself from Yodun. Redin went behind Yodun and swung his sword quickly.

*Swipe!*

He felt the tip of the sword connect with the chimera.

And then, with the power contained in the sword, Redin slashed the chimera’s neck.

*Splat!*

Just when he thought the chimera’s body was bursting apart, it liquefied like a liquid monster and then reshaped itself back to its original form.

In that split second, he saw something.

There was something else where the heart should have been.

“This is one incredible body!”, Yodun exclaimed.

As Yodun marveled, Redin moved again. This time, he noticed the eyes of the chimera watching the swinging sword slightly shifting.

It was beginning to read his movements.

*Pow!*

He shattered the chimera’s head with the sword and then slashed its body with another swing.

Its body splattered in all directions like liquid.

Then, centered on the black heart, the liquids gathered back together to form a human shape.

“Is that the technique used by the Sword Saint? I’ve seen it in the upper leagues. If I see it one more time, I might be able to unravel it.”

Yodun grinned and raised his sword.

A black light emanated from Yodun’s sword.

The black light spun in a spiral across his vision. And it formed a black sun. A giant sun that bathed light on him.

Redin swung his sword and used Full Moon Slash.

The mana from his sword formed a giant moon that swallowed up the black sun.

The moon overlapping with the sun.

An eclipse.

The moon swallowed the sun, and above that, as he swung his sword, the moon and the sun split into a cross shape.

Two forces exploded simultaneously.

*BOOOM!*

A powerful wave spread out in all directions, the impact of which turned Yodun’s body back into a liquified state.

A black heart was revealed in the gap.

Redin took out the holy water from his subspace pouch and formed a sword of judgment. He threw the sword at the black heart.

*Swiish!*

The swiftly flying Sword of Judgment annihilated the black heart. Along with it, the liquids that made up Yodun’s body turned to powder and scattered in the wind.

A devastated land.

He paused for a moment and read Yodun’s memories. Among all the chimeras he’d seen so far, Yodun has the most intact memories.

Unlike other chimeras, he had memories worth using.

“Demon People Project.”

The identity of the chimeras he fought.

And where the experiments took place was also something Yodun remembered. Creating a shadow dragon, Redin visualized the location from his memory.

“Time to finish this up.”
