Survive as a Prison Guard in the Game

Chapter 125 - First mission (3)



Chapter 125
First mission (3)

Demons and Monsters.

While the players of the game had used these terms interchangeably, but there was a clear distinction in the game.

All races other than humans were referred to as monsters, and a subcategory of monsters included those influenced by demonic energy.

There were three main types of monsters introduced in the game.

The first were the Demon Cultists, who worshiped the Demon God and primarily wielded demonic energy, the power of the Demon God.

These range from Fallen Priests to Knights to Cultists.

Those who were not consumed by demonic energy, but instead wielded its power entirely, were at the very top.

The second group are the Chimeras, created by the priests of the Demon Church as they experimented on the human, other races, and animals that exist on the continent.

These creatures often appear as bosses in dungeons.

Finally, the third are Demons, who were consumed by the curse left behind by the Demon God, becoming the host of the curse and having their bodies taken over.

Examples of demons include Terry the Poison Toad seen before in the past.

And.

An entity that could be found in the data recording a 5-year hiatus along with the Burning Hell update.

“……Sinister.”

A real monster made from the flesh of a Demon God.

In human terms, this is a person who has crossed the boundary of life and death and has entered the state of mastery.

It was not that they were not mentioned at all.

The Secret Library of the Holy Empire.

In the records of the war between the Goddesses of Creation and the Demon God, there were also information about the defeated Demon God.

A Demon God unable to admit defeat.

To prepare for the future.

He tore his body into pieces and scattered them across the continent.

In the process, his blood became a curse, and the flesh that fell away became a monster.

Primordial Monsters.

These monstrous creatures were called Sinister.

“Do you know about the Sinister?”

At Rodwell’s question, he bowed his head.

“I’m not familiar with their existence, so this is a surprise.”

“It’s surprising, but don’t try to learn more. Just do what the orders say.”

“Yes.”

“Then get going. It’ll take a long time.”

Bowing his head once more to Rodwell’s well wishes, he returned to the waiting room with the rest of the Imperial Knights.

He sat down and checked through the papers.

At the front was the target and location, and at the back were the details of how to attack the Sinister.

What they’ll need.

How to awaken the Sinister.

How to incite them and transport them to the Kingdoms.

Seeing that each Sinister requires a different approach depending on their traits and personality, he realized that Rodwell must be deeply connected to the Demon Church.

Otherwise.

This level of information seemed hard to come by.

“……Hmm.”

If that’s the case, during the Burning Hell update the Oberg Empire and the Cult should have been working together.

And it wasn’t.

They hated each other, and were busy keeping each other in check. Thanks to this, the Six Kingdoms were able to create the Six Kingdoms and grow in power.

*Sigh*

He would learn more about this when he dealt with Rodwell. For now, it was time to focus on the task at hand.

“Pair up, all of you.”

“Understood.”

“Take one.”

He handed the pairs their orders one by one. He took the fifth and final one.

Folding the orders, slipping it into his pocket, he looked up at the knights.

“You are not to speak of this mission to any one except those of us here, especially you two.”

Hekan’s boss.

The one who followed Iphas.

He looked at the two hesitant knights and continued.

“This is something that must be accomplished at all costs. Do not create any variables. Do you understand?”

“Yes.”

“Remember, if any information gets out, if word of this mission gets out, the Chancellor will not be happy.”

“….”

“If you really want to be dedicated to your boss, make sure this mission is accomplished. Because it’s the only thing that will really help.”

The two knights gulped.

They nodded with determined faces.

“Understood.”

“Good. Remember, this is our first mission, so any failure is unacceptable. Be prepared to risk your lives.”

“Yes!”

“Then let’s go.”

He left the castle with the other knights.

Each moved toward the kingdom where they were to fulfill their mission.

He watched calmly as the knights moved further and further away.

Although the mission was written in detail.

The process itself was not easy, and the odds of success were not high.

In the immediate game, the appearance of the Sinister was just as the Six Kingdoms began to fall apart in earnest.

Rather than making it happen all at once, Rodwell would probably want to take it one step at a time, combining several knights.

“Who knows.”

Already, the future as he knows is gone, and the Imperial Knights are no longer who the original composition was.

Maybe those knights will get lucky and succeed in their mission.

“Huu…”

But one thing is certain.

Even if they succeed, they won’t be coming back alive. There’s no way the Sinister will let the humans who roused them live.

He doubt they know that, but he couldn’t care less.

After all, they’re criminals.

He joined a criminal organization to bring down Rodwell, but he’s only using them for his own ends.

There was no camaraderie between them.

“Mmm.”

He stretches, retrieving the mission order from his pocket.

[Provocation Mission Order]

-Provoke the Sinister to the south of the Adrian Kingdom and lure them into attacking the Adrian Kingdom.

Of all the kingdoms, he chose Adrian for one reason.

To take advantage of this opportunity.

While others may have had a low chance of success, he was not one of them. By provoking the Sinister and sending it into Adrian Kingdom.

There were many benefits to be gained by doing so.

First, it would ruin Rodwell’s plans.

He would be able to expose Sinister far sooner than he expected, and the continent would be alerted to their danger.

Gathering together talented people.

Enough time to catch up.

For the Six Kingdoms to realize that peace is over and war is coming.

And also.

With a good plan, Rebecca could overtake a number of contenders for the throne and become king.

“Then smack Rodwell.”

For that, he must obtain a copy skill that will allow him to kill Rodwell before he can provoke the Sinister.

*Shuaaaaaa!*

Using Shadow Lord mode, Redin created a dragon. He hopped on its back and flew up into the sky.

“Let’s go.”

Burning Hell Basement Level 3.

A special interview room.

Inside the see-through glass were a prison guard in a black uniform and a priest of the Demon Church in a prisoner’s uniform.

“Name.”

“With the Demon God, there is no need to fear.”

“Say your name, Name. Is your name Demon God?”

“With the Demon God, there is no need to fear.”

“Yeah, what’s the point of knowing your name, tsk. Just tell me what you were planning to do with the girl in the cottage.”

“With the Demon God, there is no need….”

*Bam!*
The guard slammed his desk and stood up. Warden Rukel, watching the scene from behind the glass, cocked his head to the side.

He turned to Daylon, who was pursing his lips.

“Is he always like that?”

“Yes. Torture doesn’t work, and confessions didn’t work also. I guess it’s because they believe in the Demon God. They’re completely insane.”

“Have you contacted the Holy Empire?”

“They said they’d send a paladin to deal with this, but I haven’t met with them yet.”

“Then what are you planning to do?”

“I’m going to send them to the 5th Floor, and I’m going to have the head of the Medical Department develop a confession that will work on the priests of the Demon Church.”

“It would be better to have the Holy Empire and the Kingdom of Resha work on it rather than the Medical Department. I’ll bring it up at today’s meeting.”

Daylon gave a small nod.

“Yes, sir. Understood.”

“By the way. Did you find out why the Demon Church attacked the mine?”

A sudden assault by the Demon Church.

Cerberus, who had survived their explosion, surveyed the scene, but the intruders hadn’t touched the magic stones.

“I suspect it was an act of display…”

“A spectacle?”

“Yes. I think it was a declaration of war to announce their return, and since then, the demonic church has been making their presence known….”

Despite the obvious reality of what Daylon was saying, he couldn’t help the feeling that something was amiss.

He had a feeling that the Demon Church has an ulterior motive.

Rukel turned to Daylon and gave him instructions.

“First, I want you to assign two guards to each of the Priests. Have them monitor and record everything.”

“Understood.”

Rukel left the special interview room.

Using a special movement circle only available to prison guards, he returned to his office, sat down at his desk, and activated his communication bead.

*Ooooh!*

No king had connected to the conference yet.

“Hmm….”

Seeing that he had a few minutes left, he leaned back in his chair and organized his thoughts.

A strange current flowing through the continent of Bern.

In a matter of months, criminal organizations had banded together to reestablish the Oberg Empire, and the Demon Church had terrorized the Mines and unleashed its demons on the continent, proclaiming the resurgence of the Demon God.

A world more chaotic than ever.

Perhaps because of the long periods of peace, the Six Kingdoms were unable to find their bearings.

“Huu…”

In fact, there was much chaos within the kingdoms themselves.

Ravino and Crane.

They made a ceasefire agreement and seemed to be considerate in public, only to turn antagonistic again.

It would be nice if this were the end of it.

Two of the three Magic Tower Lords who support the Kingdom of Resha have gone into seclusion, and the Kingdom of Carvin, a nation of mercenaries, has been inactive.

It’s good to do something, or not to do something.

“Adrian Kingdom is in chaos over the succession to the throne….”

Among them, only the Holy Empire could be called normal.

*Oooohh!*

The Holy Empire’s communication bead lit up.

-So I take it, I’m the first to arrive.

At the sound of the Pope’s voice, Rukel straightened up and straightened his posture.

“Welcome, Holy Pope, there’s still a little time before the meeting…….”

-I came earlier because I wanted to hear a little more about the Demon Church. I heard that you captured the priests of the Demon Church this time, did you get any information?

“They’re pretty tight-lipped, and it’s doubtful they’ll crack open easily with our personnel, so we requested the Holy Empire to dispatch a Holy Knight…… Have they reached out to you yet?”

-Hmmm. I haven’t heard anything, but I’ll give instructions and send a Holy Knight right away.

“Thank you.”

Afterwards, they made small talk about the Demon Church, and the topic naturally shifted as the other Kings connected to the communication bead one by one.

-I think we should attack the Oberg Empire right away.

-These days, the number of monsters has grown to the point that the Knights can handle them.

-They say the mercenaries are taking on more missions than ever.

Although he can hear the kings talking.

Strangely, the sound of their conversations is deafening, and he feel disoriented.

Before the storm arrives.

A lull of stillness.

‘Whew…… Maybe I’ve been pushing myself too hard lately.’

Rukel ran a hand down his face and patted his cheek. Just as he was about to lift his head to focus on the meeting again.

The Adrian Kingdom’s communication bead activated.

-Pardon the lateness.

The unfamiliar voice snapped him to attention.

Not the voice of the King of Knights, but a thinner, more delicate voice.

-Who is it?

In response to King Crane’s question, a voice came out of Adrian’s communication orb.

-This is Jin Sowol.

-Jin Sowol?

-Yes, that’s right.

-This meeting is only for the parties involved. Why is the Moon Pavilion Master here?

There was a moment of silence.

The Swordswoman’s tightly closed mouth opened.

-His Majesty has passed away.
