Survive as a Prison Guard in the Game

Chapter 130
Dragonian (5)

[Red Dragon Body (EX)]

-Unique skill possessed by Half Dragons.

-Can use magic without a circle.

-Can use dragon magic that only dragons can use.

-Greatly increases mana control.

-Greatly increases P. Def. and M. Def.

The skill was impressive at first glance.

The tangible effects on his body were just as great.

The mana filling his mana sockets from the Archmage’s Desire now felt different than before.

Before acquiring the skill, it was merely a trickle.

Now, it felt like a flowing river.

In addition, the effects of the Fairy Queen Heart had reduced his mana consumption, so the same amount of mana felt more abundant.

*Hiss*

He now has a body that can use both magic and dragon magic, but the knowledge of it did not come along to him.

He would have to learn it through Redis.

It’s a shame he can’t use magic right away, but it’s not necessary. A sword would be enough to take out a Chief Priest of the Demon Church.

“Demon God, grant me strength.”

Demonic Energy flowed from the Chief Priest’s body. A black circle of magic was formed between the soles of his feet. It grew in size, and a demon emerged from it.

“Kekekeke.”

“Kkie”

“Lirasramu”

Starting with orcs.

Then the various Demi-human races.

Those who were corrupted by the demonic energy and turned into demons, exuding thick killing intent.

“With the blessing of the Demon God, there is nothing to fear.”

The demons’ eyes flared, their red eyes turning black, and their energy surged. They emitted a killing intensity many times stronger than before.

All five demons were strengthened.

Redin gripped Moonlight in his hand, pumping his mana into the weapon. It surged from his body and enveloped the sword, forming an aura blade.

A brilliant azure.

An aura blade that was firmer, sharper, and more deadly.

Its retention factor had also increased significantly.

Normally, it would have been impossible to form an Aura Blade of this caliber, but after acquiring the [Red Dragon Body], it became extremely effortless.

A truly new level of mana efficiency.

“Kill!”

With the Chief Priest’s command, he walked towards the charging demons.

The Chief Priest using black magic from the rear.

He applied the power of purification and sliced the demon’s dark energy in half. Demonic energy ripped apart and scattered.

“Kwaaaggh!”

The orc jumped and brought his massive club down. This time, he swung his sword in a graceful arc.

The aura blade curved into a half-moon shape and flew away.

*Whoosh!*

The orc, which had been enormously enhanced by the Chief Priest’s enchantment, was sliced in half, and the monsters that followed did the same.

The half-moon slash was used with ease.

The half-moon-shaped aura blades swept through the area. The Chief Priest frowned as he watched the monsters being torn apart.

“What is your identity, boy?”

“Would it make any difference if you know?”

“Well, I suppose I could just capture you and force you to answer.”

“That’s something I’d like to say, but are you able to?”

“I am a Chief Priest of the Demon Church.”

As if to prove that he hadn’t just risen to the position by chance, the Chief Priest released a burst of demonic energy and had something in store.

A black membrane enveloped him.

It was similar to the process of forming an egg from a curse, but there were subtle differences.

The whole process was under the control of the Chief Priest’s volition.

The Chief Priest was staring at him through the translucent black membrane.

A prayer streaming continuously from his mouth.

“Do you have complete control over the curse?”

He doesn’t intend to let him use the power of the curse. Using Shadowlord mode, he created multiple alter egos.

“Go.”

At his command, the shadows clung to the translucent membrane.

[The shadow becomes greedy].

He commanded the greedy shadows to devour the Demonic Curse to their hearts’ content. The shadows opened their mouths and devoured the Chief Priest’s demonic energy.

*Chomp* *Chomp*

*Munch*

The Chief Priest’s eyes widened.

The chant he had been chanting stopped, and his mouth gaped open at the sight of the Shadow.

“This…… is the power of the God of the Sea? Are you a child of House Baskervan? How is it that you wield this power?”

“Because I was chosen by the God of the Sea.”

“What?”

There was a moment of confusion.

The Chief Priest recovered his bearings.

He realized he was trying to stall him with the question. There was no need to engage in conversation since he had the [Mask of the Dead].

It’ll only irritate and annoy him.

As he watches the shadows tear through the black membrane of the Chief Priest, he conjures a phoenix containing the power of purification.

Shapeshifting Phoenix.

A phoenix made of azure flames, it swoops toward the Chief Priest with his will.

*FWOOOSH!*

Flames fill the cave.

“Ev…… Even the Phoenix? AARRGHHH!”

The Chief Priest’s body was consumed by the flames.

The azure flames purified the demonic energy and weakened the Chief Priest’s power.

Shadows also moved in the midst of it.

He could feel the shadow’s power growing, consuming the power of the Chief Priest’s curse.

“Kkueeeaaarghh”

The Chief Priest, completely powerless, fell to his knees and mouth agape.

He swings his sword for the finishing touch.

*Thud*

The Chief Priest’s head rolled to the floor, the mask of the dead consuming his soul.

[Harvesting the damned soul].

In the next moment, the Mask of the Dead presented the memories of the Chief Priest.

The scene was this laboratory.

In what appeared to be the Chief Priest’s private quarters, he was seated in a chair. In front of him lay a communication orb.

Light flashed and a voice was audible.

-Chief Priest Millien.

-Greetings.

-How far along are you with the experiment?

There’s a lot of noise, so it’s hard to distinguish the voice.

-We’re done with phase 2. I think we’ll be able to complete phase 3 and start mass production soon.

-The time is nigh.

-I’ll ensure that nothing stands in the way of the first step in the resurgence of the Demon Church.

-There should be no room for failure.

-Yes.

The conversation ended briefly.

The Mask of the Dead did not end there.

Priest Millien’s eyes glazed over as he sat in his chair, and he glanced his way toward Redin and bowed his head slightly.

A conversation with the soul.

He had a lot of questions, but the first thing he had to confirm was.

“Do you know anything about Rodwell?”

-No.

He doesn’t?

“Isn’t there a human who received a transfusion of dragon blood here?”

-There is. Experiment number 000023. Human. The only one to receive a transfusion of dragon’s blood and suffer no ill effects.

“Where is he now?”

-After the transfusion here in the lab, he was transferred to the main headquarters of the Demon Church.

Did he go to the main headquarters and become active under the name Rodwell?

“Then what are the plans the organization is making now?”

-We are preparing for the return of the Demon God.

“Are you talking about the passage to the demonic realm beneath Burning Hell?”

-I don’t know of any plans.

The Chief Priests lead the Demon Church.

A plan that even Chief Priest Millien, the person in charge of this branch of the Demon God Church, who is experimenting with half-dragons, doesn’t know about.

Something crossed his mind.

“Is there someone else above you?”

-Yes. There is.

“Who is it?”

-The 12 Apostles….

As the Mask of the Dead’s ability ceased to function, the words the soul had spoken trailed off in the void.

All of the NPCs who appeared in the Demon Church were Chief Priests, and the one who represented them was the most frequently encountered.

But it wasn’t that person’s name.

Instead, it revealed the existence of the Twelve Apostles.

He had never once heard of them in the game before.

“Twelve Apostles….”

There was a good chance that whoever was controlling Rodwell was also a member of the 12 Apostles.

He’d find out when he killed Rodwell.

It wasn’t something to dwell on for long, at least not now. After clearing his thoughts, he turned his head to look at Redis.

When did she regain consciousness?

Her eyes were blurry and darting around. He slowly walked over to her and held out my hand.

“Are you okay?”

The moment.

Redis’s eyes suddenly changed.

*Slap*

Smacking his hand away, she glared at him with a murderous glare, drawing up her mana.

Wondering if it was the Half Dragon’s innate talent.

Even after being locked up in a laboratory for so long, she was still skilled at manipulating mana.

“You. Who?”

“Redin. I’ve come to rescue you.”

“Human. Hate.”

The people who’d kidnapped her as a child had been cultists of the Demon Church, and they were human. It made sense that she’d be wary of him.

He had withdrawn all his power.

He had taken off the Shadow Lord, the Phoenix’s power. Wrenched the Archmage’s Desire from his fingers and stuffed his sword into his subspace pouch.

A bare hand, a bare body.

He spread his arms, indicating that he had no intention of fighting, trying to get Redis to calm down.

“I’ve come to save you.”

“Me. Save me? Why?”

“I heard from someone that you were trapped here.”

The conversation that the Hero had with Redis after he rescued her.

The moment when he mentally replayed the situation in his head and tried to come up with the next conversation topic and line.

*Oooooooh!*

A thick waft of demonic energy flows from the entrance. The voices of priests in the distance.

It seemed they had already subdued the rampaging Demi-human subjects from above.

“Keuuuu!”

In response to Demonic Energy, Redis frowned, her eyes blazing red.

Redis awakened with anger.

Red scales covered her face and limbs, and the mana around her swirled and was absorbed into her body.

“Kill. Kill them. Kill.”

There is no way to stop Redis once she has reacted to the demonic energy. He can only wait for this rage to be burned off and settle down.

“The… The Chief Priest is dead, and the Half-Dragon is on the loose! Everyone be careful!”

Redis lunged at the priests, who stumbled backward in panic.

Mana pulsed in her hands.

As she snapped her fingers in the air, the claws of a giant dragon materialized and swept across the priests.

*CRAAAAASSHH!*

“Aaaaaaah!”

“Gaaaaahhhh!”

He stepped backward, slipping out of sight.

Since the death of her parents, Redis had been imprisoned in the laboratory and subjected to horrific experiments.

He knows her anger is not light.

“Aaarrrgghhh”

‘Yes, until the rage wears off.’

‘Go ahead, rampage and get your revenge.’

‘I’ll wait for you.’

Sunlight poured down from a clear sky.

The brilliant light illuminated the underground laboratory of the Demon God Church. The entire facility was in ruins.

The ceiling collapses and dirt falls out below, filling the underground chamber.

On the ground, bodies piled together.

From priests to cultists to Demi-human test subjects turned into demons.

“Hmph…… Huff…….”

Atop the mountain of corpses, Redis sat, catching her breath. Redin walked over, watching as her breathing slowly subsided.

“How is it? Feeling any better?”

“No.”

Redis replied, bluntly.

“Not enough.”

Seeing the hunger in Redis’s eyes, he smiled and nodded.

“Let me help you. You can have your revenge until your heart’s content.”

“Why?”

There is only one reason to help Redis.

“Because you and I have the same enemy.”

In wiping out the Demon God Cult from existence, Redis was a great ally.

“Enemies. Same?”

“Yeah.”

“I see.”

Redis nodded.

Now that he got her approval, it was time to move.

“Shall we go then?”
