Royal Roader on My Own

Is he really asking because he doesn’t know?

His sin is serving the wrong person without knowing who truly owns this place!

But I didn’t have the time to explain something like that to him right now.

Can’t he see the look on Kaicher’s face?

He was trying his best not to show it, but he was clearly anxious. He was concerned about the Archbishop who was pretty much like a father to him.

Honestly speaking, I wanted to find and take away Donstar’s hidden wealth as well.

But I can do that later. Most of the influential people signed to give up their wealth, so I can take care of them all at once later on.

I needed to focus on Kaicher right now.

“Why are you all still standing there?”

“Yes, sir! The four of you arrest Tarok! The rest of you, come with me!”

His experience as a mercenary did come in handy. Smith showed a leader-like demeanor and started to lead the Security Force members after I gave the order.

I named Humbley the Vice Commander of High Village. He would do a better job than I would in leading this place.

“Then I leave it to you.”

“Yes, Commander-nim. Please return safely.”

“Now then, shall we go?”

I led Kaicher and Harrison’s group to the Magician’s Tower. We then immediately teleported to Avanguarde.

Avanguarde had quite a few Jeppis guarding the Magician’s Tower, unlike Titan Valley. There were over 20 of them as soon as we finished our teleportation.

The Jeppi had blank expressions on their faces after seeing our group suddenly teleporting over.

I’m sure they were confused. They couldn’t tell if we were rebels or the Jeppi tribe’s informants.

Thankfully, it didn’t seem as if they had heard about what happened in Titan Valley.

You really have to take care of these things quickly before information spreads.

I confidently started to walk toward the Jeppis.

The Jeppis finally seemed to have noticed the serious atmosphere. They all clenched their weapons and had vicious glares on their faces.

“Snort. Who are you? Stop there.”

I pretended not to hear him. I then kicked off the ground and charged toward the Jeppis. fr𝚎e𝙬𝚎𝚋𝚗૦ν𝚎𝒍.c૦m

The others quickly started to move as well as if we had planned it in advance.

Kaicher and Rohas’s movements looked especially cool. They were quickly moving as if they were competing to see who could move faster and stronger.

However, nobody was faster than me. I instantly approached them and started to chop off their necks.

It happened so quickly that the Jeppis could not resist properly. Of course, it wouldn’t have mattered if they did since there was such a gap between our abilities.

All of the Jeppis on the first floor of the Magician’s Tower were killed in less than a minute. It would be easy for us to clear the Magician’s Tower if we wanted to do so.

However, our goal was not the Magician’s Towers nor was it hunting the Jeppis. It was confirming the safety of the Ares Temple and the Archbishop. It would be even better if we could save the bishop and the priests as well.

“We will move as quickly as possible!”

We charged toward the Ares Temple at full speed. Kaicher and Rohas ran as fast as possible as well. We were moving so fast that we caused gusts of wind as we ran.

Swiiiiiiiiiiiiiiish-

That meant that the group ending up breaking up into two. Harrison’s group could not keep up with our speed.

Magician Bernard was especially the problem.

“Wait for us.”

There was no reason for us to move together. There was nobody here who did not know the location of the Ares Temple. A normal person could run from the Magician’s Tower to the Ares Temple in 30 minutes.

Bernard could move pretty quickly if he used magic as well. They would arrive about 10 minutes after us.

“We will head over first. Let’s regroup at the Ares Temple.”

I increased my speed even more. I could see Kaicher and Rohas doing their best to keep up.

I saw Jeppis every so often.

There were not many of them. Avanguarde was already conquered, so they had only left the minimal amount necessary to keep it in check while the rest of the Jeppi soldiers headed toward the Ameri Kingdom.

I’m sure there were over 30,000 still left in Avanguarde, but that was only if they were all gathered together in one spot.

We killed the Jeppis in front of us as we ran. Thankfully, we were able to arrive at the Ares Temple quickly.

I couldn’t help but frown after seeing the status of the temple gate.

‘Shit!’

I could see the bishop and the priests. To be more specific, I could see their corpses. They were all pierced from head to toe by large wooden spears and hanging in the air.

Things had progressed similarly to the game story. They resisted until the last moment, making the Jeppi kill them in the cruelest method possible and hang them outside the gate like this. They were showing this as an example of what happens to whoever resists against them.

There was a familiar face among them. I could see the Archbishop who Kaicher treated like family.

It was a terrible sight.

How would Kaicher who considered them as family be feeling when even a third party like me was feeling this way?

“Aaaaaaaah!”

Kaicher pulled at his hair and started to cry as he stood in front of the bishop and priests’ corpses. This was shocking because Kaicher was someone who would not lose his calm even in the fiercest of battles.

The important part came from here.

I couldn’t let Kaicher turn into a crazed madman.

I needed something to focus Kaicher’s mind on. I guess you could say that I needed to find a reason for him to want to live?

“Snort. Rebels. Attack.”

The Jeppis inside the temple ran out after hearing Kaicher’s scream.

I couldn’t see the bishop nor any of the priests. Neither the bishop nor any of the priests had surrendered to the Jeppi.

Actually, there was one person. I could see a person wearing the Ares Temple’s priest outfit hidden within the Jeppi. He was definitely human and not a Jeppi. It was a face that Kaicher knew well.

Kaicher let out his anger after seeing him.

“You bastard! Pavinson!”

“Kaicher-nim! That’s not it. Please listen to me.”

The priest named Pavinson desperately waved his hand.

However, everything would just be an excuse in this situation. The fact that he was standing so freely within the Jeppis proved his betrayal.

Kaicher let his divine power explode out. He furiously started to run toward Pavinson.

The Jeppis did not sit back either. They started to swing their weapons toward the running Kaicher.

However, the Jeppis were no match for Kaicher. They were easily taken down by Kaicher’s sword.

it was not because the Jeppis were weak. I’m sure they were all warriors who were at least level 400.

It was just that Kaicher was amazingly strong. His divine power had exploded and taken him beyond his limits because of his uncontrollable anger.

It would be an extreme level of strength even without the Warrior’s Ring strengthening him.

This also meant that Kaicher was starting to go crazy.

Letting out anger isn’t bad. It’s better to let it out than to hold it in.

However, you should not go overboard.

Anybody would be able to tell that Kaicher’s current explosion of emotions was going overboard.

If the Jeppis overwhelm him with numbers right now?

Kaicher would continue to squeeze out divine power beyond his limits. That overloading of divine power would end up exploding and destroy Kaicher’s mind.

He would no longer be Kaicher, the Warrior of Light. Instead, he would change into Kaicher, the Crazed Warrior. Just like how it was in the game.

I needed to prevent that from happening.

“Rohas! Help Kaicher!”

Rohas quickly started to move as if he had been waiting for my order. He started to charge toward the Jeppis with swift movement that made it seem as if he was flying.

However, he seemed a bit concerned. It was not because of the Jeppis. It was because of Kaicher. The already half-crazed Kaicher might think Rohas was his enemy as well.

“Don’t stick too close to Kaicher!”

I helped out as well.

However, there were quite a lot of Jeppis in the Ares Temple. They continued to pour out from the building as they heard the commotion.

There were at least a few thousand of them here.

They seemed to have taken up the Ares Temple as one of their bases because this place was a symbol for battle.

‘I need Harrison’s group to hurry up and show up.’

Kaicher continued to quickly advance. He was heading toward the traitorous priest Pavinson. He was so strong that he had already cornered Pavinson.

“Please wait for a moment. Please listen to me. Kaicher-nim, I’ve been waiting for you.”

“Shut up!”

Kaicher did not care. Pavinson shouted as loudly as possible but Kaicher made it past the Jeppi wall and swung his sword toward Pavinson.

Pavinson grabbed one of the Jeppis’ fallen weapons to defend.

However, he was no match for Kaicher. Even if they both had the same position as priests in the Ares Temple, Kaicher was the greatest warrior of the Temple whose fame was widely spread to the other kingdoms.

Pavinson’s shoulder was cut without being able to defend against even a single attack. Kaicher’s sword then stabbed into Pavinson’s heart.

“Ugh!”

Pavinson crumbled just like that.

The Jeppis did not miss that opening. They charged forward like a horde of dogs and swung their weapons toward Kaicher.

Kaicher moved his anger toward the Jeppis after killing Pavinson.

“You bastards!”

However, there were too many of them. They seemed to have decided to take care of Kaicher first as they were all aiming for Kaicher.

This was too dangerous of a situation.

“Rohas! Do everything you can to help him!”

I started to run toward Kaicher as well.

That allowed a path of life for Kaicher who used the opening to massacre the Jeppis.

I heard a faint voice next to me at that moment.

It was Pavinson whom Kaicher had just killed.

Well, I thought he was dead, but he was still alive. I don’t know how he is still alive, but he was doing his best to say something before he died.

I paid attention to what he was trying to say.

I heard some shocking information coming from Pavinson’s mouth.

“The Archbishop-nim’s descendants......must save them......”

The Archbishop’s descendants!

I did a lot of research on Kaicher using the Royal Roader draft plan. I was trying to find out how I could fully turn Kaicher into one of my people. 𝑓𝒓𝚎e𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯𝘰𝐯𝒆𝑙.c𝚘m

One of the methods I found was the Archbishop.

However, the Archbishop had died following the original storyline.

The alternative I found was through the Archbishop’s descendants. They were people who would give Kaicher a reason to live.

I quickly approached Pavinson.

Pavinson was only able to move his eyes and lips. He struggled to look at me and continued to speak as his voice died out.

“The Archbishop-nim......his descendants......gave his life to save them......let them live......underground prison......”

I got the gist of what he was trying to say.

Pavinson had not betrayed them, he was only pretending to have betrayed them. He was trying to deliver this information to someone.

He then looked toward Kaicher with his fleeting gaze.

“Kaicher......please......”

Those were Pavinson’s last words. I don’t know if he was using his divine powers or what he was doing, but his life that he was trying so hard to maintain was completely gone now.

I then heard a voice in my mind.

< Pavinson’s Quest has been activated.

Please save Kaicher from going crazy. You will receive a gift of thanks from Pavinson’s soul should you succeed. >
