Survive as a Prison Guard in the Game

Chapter 100
Resurrection of the Oberg Empire (1)

It’s been three days since he chased after Brown Bear.

Perhaps suspecting that he had someone on his tail, Brown Bear began to move in earnest after hanging around the city.

Heading for the Teleporter.

He watched from a distance, and when he saw Brown Bear use the teleporter, he closed his eyes in concentration.

The shadow alter ego he had planted a few days ago.

With it, he could see Brown Bear’s current location. He called on the Shadow Eyes and saw Brown Bear’s figure.

His pace was urgent.

Trees and grass surrounded him.

He pulled away from his shadow alter ego and expanded his field of vision. After putting some distance between him and the Brown Bear, he used Shadow Shift.

*Whoosh!*

With the sensation of being sucked into something, a cool breeze blew in. Other senses, previously blocked, opened up beyond sight.

The smell of grass and the sounds of animals.

“……I’m still not used to this.”

He took a deep breath and looked around.

It was an unremarkable forest, but there was a strong smell of burnt wood, as if a fire had been set somewhere.

Not just any fire.

It felt like gunpowder.

Turning his gaze, he looked in the direction in which Brown Bear had disappeared. Trying to locate him with the [Watcher’s Eye], he picked up his pace.

Watching him run off, he kicked off the ground and launched himself.

Utilizing Ghost Walk to cover his tracks, he chased after Brown Bear. Finally, he caught sight of Brown Bear standing at the edge of the cliff.

“Master Caaiiuuuusss!*

Without hesitation, Brown Bear jumps down.

As he slowly made his way to the edge of the cliff, a scorched plains appeared at the base of the cliff.

Black smoke billowed from the ground.

Everywhere were smoldering flames.

Brown bears raced across the plain covered in corpses, racing to the center. In the center of the plain lay a red-haired man.

Herecognized the man.

“Caius…….”

Brown Bear walked up to Caius. Despite patting him on the cheek, he didn’t stir, shaking his head.

Was he dead?

Dismissing the plan from his mind, he thought of the next one. If he was dead, it was best to take advantage of it.

Like Warden Rukel had done in the past.

He had to secure the body and transport it to Burning Hell.

“First…….”

He pulled out the Watcher’s Eye to get an accurate view of the situation. Zooming in on Caius, he got a closer look.

He stirred.

Caius shifted slightly. Brown Bear looked surprised and began to probe his body.

“He’s not dead?”

His brow naturally furrowed.

If Caius, who can be considered one of the strongest in the current continent, was brought to that state, they must have been an incredibly skilled individual.

He pondered.

Why did someone of that caliber spare him?

There must be a reason.

Using the Watcher’s Eye, he checked every inch of Caius’ body, until his eyes caught sight of the red blade embedded in his heart.

*Thud!*

*Thud!*

The blade moved as if it were alive. Soon, it spat out a red liquid that covered Caius’s body.

Then it took the form of an egg.

“Curse…….”

Just as Terry the Poison Toad had been consumed by a curse while using the mask, a holy relic of the Demon Church, so too had Caius been consumed by a curse.

A sword with a red blade.

A reddish egg.

A symbol on the egg.

Putting the three together, there was one curse that came to mind.

The Curse of Infinity.

It’s a curse with an endless supply of demonic energy, and if one doesn’t constantly consume it, a blast of demonic energy will engulf the surrounding area.

Wherever it touched, dungeons would form.

Ordinary humans and animals will become demons and fiends.

The neighboring Kingdoms of Ravino and Crane will be the most affected.

“Iltipira…….”

He has a vague idea of who is responsible for bringing Caesar to this point.

The one who wants the Six Kingdoms to fall.

Someone who has something to gain from Caius.

Someone powerful enough to obtain the curse.

When he put it all together, there is only one person. The leader of the Darkness Seven.

“Rodwell.”

A character whose name is the only information revealed in the game. It was clear that he had placed the curse on Caius.

He scanned the area with the Watcher’s Eye in case he was around, but there was no one else in the area but Caius and Brown Bear.

“It’s a shame…..”

First, he need to stop Caius from going on a rampage. It’s an infinite curse, and the time to hatch from an egg is short.

Stomping the ground, he propelled himself forward.

As he descends to the bottom of the cliff, he reaches into his subspace pouch and pulls out an emergency communication bead.

He shattered it with mana.

*Ooooh!*

The shards reacted to the mana and formed a huge pillar of light. A pillar high enough to pierce the clouds.

The signal from that pillar will reach Cerberus.

It will take about ten to fifteen minutes for the signal to reach them. If he can hold out long enough, Swordswoman Jin will be able to sort out Caius’s situation.

*Boom!*

He landed on the ground and ran across the plain towards Brown Bear.

“Brown Bear, if you don’t want to die, you’d better get away from there.”

“Redin? You’re chasing after me here…….”

Brown Bear’s eyes widened and he pushed himself to his feet. He drew his sword from his belt.

*Crack!*

The red egg cracked and a thick hand shot out, grabbing Brown Bear by the head.

“Master Caius?”

*Crunch!*

Caius’s hand crushed Brown Bear’s head. Brown Bear’s body fell helplessly to the ground, and the red egg began to crack open.

Red skin all over.

More than twice the size of an adult male.

Red eyes and two horns on its forehead. White plumes of breath flowed from his mouth as he exhaled.

His appearance was reminiscent of a demon.

The mere sight of it made his breath catch in his throat, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

Swallowing hard, he unsheathed his sword.

Caius unleashed his Aura Blade. Added to that, a constant stream of demonic energy.

The crux of this battle is not to win, but to hold out.

With that reiterated in his mind, he charged at the demon. The longer he stalls, the longer it will feed on the demonic energy and grow.

“Haaa!”

Along with a mighty yell, he launched a flurry of slashes.

In a flash, he was at Caius’s side, striking with his Aura Blade and the Power of Purification.

Caius brought his hand up and grabbed the sword.

Even as he applied strength, the sword didn’t move.

At that moment, Caius extended his other hand. A quick, strong blow. Ducking his head, he avoided the attack.

*Bam!*

Demonic energy exploded where his fist had stopped. Quickly, he drew up his mana to protect his ears, but he suffered some minor hearing loss.

Taking advantage of the gap, Caius stretched out his foot.

Utilizing his Shadow Alter Ego, he moved behind him and dodged the attack. He pulled out the Moonlight Sword and put all his mana into it.

*Slash!*

He slashed at Caius’s back.

It regenerated quickly due to the demonic energy.

“Krrrk…….”

Caius’s eyes flashed with anger. Seeing him reach out to grab hold of him, he shifted out of the way. A black sphere appeared in his hand.

*Ooohh!*

*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*

The black sphere replicates itself and rains down like a stream of bullets. Dodging the attack that came at him quickly and relentlessly.

*Bang!*

*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*

Explosions erupted around him. As if one wasn’t enough, he stretched out both hands and formed two spheres.

*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*

*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*

Countless spheres and explosions.

If he paused even for a moment, he would be caught in the explosion.

With the Archmage’s Desire, he pierced his chest with the Moonlight and activated the Blazing Soul.

A surge of power spreads through his body.

His movements became smoother, freeing him up to strike the occasional sphere.

*Whooosh!*

*Boom!*

Using the Shadow Alter Ego, he slipped behind Caius, grabbed his main sword, and closed the distance again.

“Damn…….”

He thought he had drained his demonic energy with that rampage. Caius created dozens of black orbs out of thin air.

There were now dozens more to dodge.

He swung both swords, dodging the orbs as they flew rapidly toward him.

Storm Slash.

He unleashed a barrage of strikes, picking up the pace from the first.

He slashed at every marble that came his way.

*Boooom!*

Chugging an elixir to repair the damage from the explosion, he bided his time, striking out at the black spheres again.

How much time had passed?

Lines appeared on the black beads everywhere, connecting them together, creating a giant prison.

The gaps and chasms became tight.

Since he tried to escape, did it mean wouldn’t let him? The Infinite Curse must have consumed some of Caius’ consciousness, because gradually it began to use its brain.

“This is getting dangerous.”

He only needs to survive this attack.

The Blazing Soul’s time was running out as well.

“D…. i…. e.”

The voice crackled like a machine.

Caius clasped his hands together, forming a giant sphere. Just looking at it, he knew in his gut that it would kill him.

“Huuu…….”

As long as he had the Phoenix, he could be resurrected once, but it was a waste to use his extra life here.

Fake it till he make it.

Pouring all of his mana filled with Archmage’s Desire into Moonlight, he prepared himself.

*Squeeze!*

A technique he had used once before.

Harungel’s Swordsmanship is in the midst of its first phase.

Half-Moon Slash.

He swung the Moonlight with all his might.

“Haaaaaa!”

Adrian Kingdom.

Office of Swordswoman Jin Sowol.

Sitting in her chair and taking care of business, Swordswoman Jin looked up at the sound of footsteps approaching her direction.

*Knock!* *Knock!*

A familiar voice sounded after the knock.

“Master, it’s Adela.”

“I take it you got the call?”

“Yes.”

Jin Sowol stood up from her chair, grabbed the scabbard off to one side, and strapped it to her waist. She opened the door to reveal Adela in her prison guard uniform.

“Let’s go.”

“Yes.”

JIn Sowol led Adela to the teleporter inside the kingdom. Adela gave the coordinates to the waiting mage.

The mage configured the coordinates.

“You may enter.”

Jin Sowol stepped into the teleporter.

*Whoosh!*

She closed her eyes and opened them to see a cliff. The smell of charred earth wafted in the wind. A squared shape with a black side in front of her.

Despite the distance, the eerie aura was enough to make her frown.

“They’re in there.”

Two individuals can be sensed inside the box.

One of them seemed to be Caius, and the other seemed to be Redin.

Jin Sowol unsheathed her sword.

Thinking that she should first destroy that strange square, she raised her sword.

*Oooooooohhh!*

A sensation that made one’s hair stand on end.

At the same time, an intense wave of energy spread out from within the black square.

*Boom!*

A blue half moon erupted, slicing the black square in half. The black square shattered and disappeared.

Along with it, the two figures crashed to the ground.

Jin Sowol leapt through the distance to where Redin was. Grabbing the falling Redin, she slowly lowered him to the ground.

“Redin?”

From the way he was breathing, he must have fainted for a moment. JIn Sowol looked at Redin’s face and remembered the events of just a moment ago.

The unleashing of the Aura Blade.

Just a few months ago, he hadn’t even been able to properly wield a sword. And now, within a few months, he had forged an Aura Blade.

And even managed to release it.

“Is this…… a total idiot?”

She could see why Rebecca was jealous.

She felt like she understood a little bit.

‘If he continues to grow like this, in a year’s time, he’ll surpass…… my current level.’

Hearing such a ridiculous statement, Jin Sowol shook her head in disbelief.

“The swordswoman of the heavens is jealous.'”

She needed to relieve this burning feeling. Jin Sowol stood up from the ground and looked over to where Caius was.

A red-skinned demon.

Although his body was half blown away by the blue half moon, he had somehow recovered and was emitting even more intense demonic energy than before.

“If it had been the old me…. it might have been hard to take him down.”

But now she’s overcome the wall.

‘Come to think of it, it was this guy who helped me over the wall.’

A smile appeared on Jin Sowol’s face.

If she keeps him around, she might have another breakthrough by chance.

With that pleasant thought in mind, she raised her sword.

“Die, Demon.”
