Survive as a Prison Guard in the Game

Chapter 99
Brown Bear Hunting (3)

Kirea Badiola.

Kirea’s grandfather was from a prominent knightly family in the Oberg Empire, the Guardian Knights, whose ancestors had been at the Emperor’s side for generations.

He took the crown prince with him and fled.

To protect him from the Six Kingdoms, he created Magnes.

As time went on, the next generation took up the mantle, and Caius took charge of the crown prince’s descendant, Himus.

-Himus is the only blood of the crown prince. You must protect him.

To fulfill his father’s wishes, Caius rallied his forces and increased his power to protect the Emperor’s bloodline.

He organized the ragtag criminal organizations of his time, claiming the title of the most powerful of the Seven.

A power unrivaled by any other.

“I’m not sure how strong Caius is, but if Pierre, Hekan, and this new organization called the Darkness Seven were to come at him, how long would he last?”

Although this is a story meant to corner Brown Bear, it was also information that he actually got from the game.

Caius was indeed attacked by the three of them.

Luckily, he was rescued by Cerberus, who spotted the scene, but he lost his life in the ensuing journey to Burning Hell.

-We were forced to conceal Caius’ death in order to alert the criminal organizations to the horrors of Burning Hell.

All of this information was written in Warden Rukel’s autobiography.

But.

What was written in the autobiography no longer mattered. The events had taken a different twist, and it was hard to predict where things would go from here.

The best he could do was try to parallel it as closely as possible.

“If you don’t answer, can I take it that you’re not interested in making a deal?”

A little more prodding and Brown Bear’s tightly closed mouth opens.

“How am I supposed to believe you?”

“I’m not the one who’s in trouble.”

“First, unlock the cuffs, and then I’ll tell you where the boss is.”

“I can’t do that.”

The keys are in his hands anyway.

Brown Bear shudders as he stares at him, biting his lip.

Blood trickled from it.

He glared at him with murderous eyes.

“He said he was headed toward the Twilight Plains.”

The place where Caius fought the other organizations.

Most likely, Himus was hiding out in the Twilight Plains.

“Good.”

He handed the key to the cuffs at his waist to Brown Bear. He took the key and looked at him as he unlocked the cuffs.

*Clang!*

The cuffs were indeed unlocked.

He sprang to his feet and began to roar with fury.

“You want a fight? If I were you, I’d go to Caius and let him know about the situation.”

“I won’t forget what happened today.”

“So be it.”

With a grunt, Brown Bear took off toward the forest. He pulled out the Watcher’s Eye, marked Brown Bear, and moved back to where the others were.

Hugo pointed his hand to one side.

“Vice Captain, I just saw Brown Bear…..”

“I let him go.”

“Huh? We had a hard time catching him…..”

“I’ll explain, so everyone come and gather around.”

Adela and Seria made their way over.

He checked the corpse to see if they’d gotten anything, but it didn’t seem to have yielded much.

“I’ll explain the plan.”

They all stared at him.

“In exchange for releasing Brown Bear, I received the location of Caius.”

“Couldn’t that be a lie?”

Adela shot him a suspicious look.

“That’s why I’m going to go after Brown Bear myself.”

“Ah…..”

“Adela, you go directly to the Swordswoman and ask for her help. We’ll need her if we’re going to catch Caius.”

“Yes.”

“Seria, please contact the Captain and request to join us. If Caius is really there, he’ll be meeting up with Pierre and Hekan’s people. We could use some additional reinforcements.”

“Then, I’m with you, vice captain?”

He shook his head at Hugo’s question.

“I’ll do the tracking alone, it’s easier and less likely to be detected. You’ll wait in the wings and then join the main force.”

“Understood.”

*Whoosh!*

A magic circle appeared on the ground.

With a powerful energy ripple, Mea of ​​the special transport group appeared.

“Good timing.”

Twilight Plains.

A vast expanse of red and yellow reeds, and so named because from a distance it looks like Twilight.

A man stands in the center of the reeds.

Caius Badiola.

He raises his arms to his head, tying his windswept red hair into a bun. Lifting his head, he looks up at the sky.

The sun was setting, and the sky was turning red.

“Twilight.”

His father’s face automatically came to mind.

The day he closed his eyes after being ambushed in a criminal organization’s turf war. He smiled at the red sky.

He loved that red sky, the color of his mother’s hair.

-What I Never Achieved…….

There was only one thing he wanted.

The resurrection of the Oberg Empire.

To fulfill his wish, he grew the influence of Magnes and created a safe place for Himus to grow and thrive.

He grew in power and strength.

He built a cage so strong that others could not even look at it, and he grew stronger within it, protecting Himus.

Only to see the empire rise.

“……Heh.”

Caes smiled bitterly.

He wondered where he’d gone wrong.

Himus, the scion of the Empire, was a wastrel.

A drunkard living on drugs and alcohol.

It was pathetic, hardly worthy of an emperor’s descendant. It was as if all his hard work had been for naught.

For the first time, he felt regret.

There was no point in making him emperor for someone who was only a ceremonial pawn.

He thought long and hard.

When the Darkness Seven said they would help revive the Empire, when Pierre and Hekan said they would join forces.

He kept thinking.

‘What do I really want to accomplish?’

The question had been on his mind until a few days ago, and it came down to something simple.

“The empire my father and grandfather dreamed of is over.”

He decided that the past was best left in the past.

The days of the conqueror who had been chosen by the gods to slay demons and conquer continents for so long were over.

Drunk on the glory of the past.

Though he longed for it to rise again.

Himus was not the first emperor to establish the Oberg Empire. Those who would take Himus, whom they saw as a mere pawn, and use him to create an Empire.

It merely sullies the honor of the past.

*Whirl!*

Caius’s hair blew with the wind.

Along with it, his senses were heightened.

“A lot of people have come.”

A thousand troops encircled the twilight plain, bearing assorted tattoos on their necks and faces.

Pierre, Hekan, and so on.

The corners of his mouth twitched upward at the realization that every criminal organization except Magnes and Brassel was after his head.

All of them have one goal.

They want Himus so they can revive the Oberg Empire, and he will never give them what they want.

“Caius, is this where you ran away to?”

A man with clown-like makeup laughed with his tongue hanging out.

He was the Boss of Pierre.

Buckerjaw, The Mad Clown.

Next to him was the Boss leading Hekan.

A woman with short, graying hair.

Iphas, The Spider Queen.

“Caius, it’s not too late, lick my feet and beg me. Then I’ll spare your life.”

Caius looked at them both and opened his mouth.

“Seems like just yesterday you were crying for your lives under me. You’ve grown up, haven’t you?”

“Kahahahaha, that was the funniest joke you’ve ever told.”

“Buckerjaw, you really did beg Caius, remember?”

“Shut up, bitch, you confessed to Caius and then got dumped.”

“Would this clown bastard like to die?”

They were always like this.

The two of them were polar opposites.

While they were preoccupied with each other, Caius pressed a switch he had already prepared.

A bomb planted in the Twilight Plains.

*Beep, Beep, Beep!*

The sound echoed across the plains.

*Bang*!

*BOOOOOOM!*

A huge explosion erupted, engulfing the Twilight Plain. Flames soared into the sky, and through the flames, the black figures writhed in agony.

Enemies that could barely scream as they crumbled to ash.

Caius braced himself against the flames, shielding himself with mana. He lifted his head to look at Buckerjaw and Iphas in front of him.

If he killed these two, and took the head of the Darkness Seven, the revival of the Oberg Empire would never happen.

Caius kicked the ground and lunged at them.

He pulled the sword at his waist and let the aura blade loose.

*Clang!*

The Aura Blade, cutting through the flames, was blocked by Buckerjaw’s fingertips. The corners of his mouth turned up.

“Do you think I’m still the same old clown?”

*Crackle!*

Blue flames erupted from Buckerjaw’s hand. He juggled the flame, playing with it, and then hurled it at Caius.

*Boom!*

*Boooom!*

With a deafening explosion, the blue flame burst forth. Caius deflected the blast with a burst of mana from his hand.

Iphas took advantage of the distraction.

Spider webs poured out of her mouth and shot up around him, white cords spreading out to bind his limbs.

*Bzzzz!*

A lightning attack surged through the webs.

Caius withstood the onslaught and ripped the webs apart.

“Look at that power. How can you not love it?”

“Bitch.”

Buckerjaw threw a fireball at Caius as he attempted to escape the web.

*Boom!*

*Booooom!*

Caius shrugged off the attacks and managed to pull himself out of the web.

“Do you really think this is all you need to kill me?”

“No.”

Buckerjaw grinned.

“Of course I can’t kill you. And I don’t intend to.”

“What?”

“Because our job was to distract you.”

*Squelch!*

Caius stared at the red sword that had pierced his heart, clenching his teeth at the pain radiating from it.

Even if he hadn’t been paying attention, he should have picked up at least a footstep, a ki, or a mana this close.

He felt nothing.

A huge gap in skills.

“Ugh…….”

Slowly, he turned to see a black-hooded figure, a crooked grin on his face.

“Long time no see, Caius Badiola.”

“Yo…… You.”

“I believe I visited you once before, but you must have forgotten…… who leads the Darkness Seven.”

The black hood twisted the red sword.

“Cough!”

Caes coughed up blood and winced.

“Where is Himus?”

“Fuck…… off.”

“If you turn him over, we’ll spare your life and let you join our cause.”

“Just…… kill me.”

Caius smiled.

If he died, there would be no one left in the world who knew about Himus. That’s what he wanted.

“Together, we can unite the continent again.”

Caius raised his middle finger.

“Fuck you…… Cough!”

“Too bad.”

The hooded figure imbued the red sword with energy, and in an instant, it came to life and sank into Caius’s body.

His head burned white-hot with pain.

“Aaaahhh!”

Caius’s body jerked, and his head dropped to the floor. The black robed man grabbed him by the hair and lifted him up.

His eyes opened, all white.

The black hooded man looked into those eyes.

“You hid it there.”

With a satisfied smile, the Black Hooded man leaned down and whispered quietly in Caius’s ear.

“In return for your help in giving me the location of Himus, I’ll give you a very small gift. I hope you like it.”
