Chapter 305: The Cult Members I Don’t Want to Kill But I Would If I Have To

It has been three days after we leave the royal castle and stayed at an inn. Celestine and I went on to clean up the cult members who knows Celestine’s face. I mean Celestine’s body. She knows them from the time they worshipped her. She has great memory to remember all those people. And I forgot the owner of the inn already.

After all those who know her died, I wanted to let her return back to Cassau since I will mostly move alone from now on. Not that she’s a deadweight, but it’s just easier to move around alone.

In fact, she has been very helpful to me. If I moved around alone, I could only kill about less than half of what we achieved together. But this time, it’s impossible to bring her with me.

The rest of the cult members in this royal capital that we needed to kill, are mostly of nobility. And those people are old man Henry’s responsibility. He said that he already made some plans together with his trusted allies. I don’t know if I can trust them or not, but since old man insisted, I won’t force him. In the end, he’s the king and I’m just a commoner. He knows what to do as a king, while I can only watch the result.

Then, there are some more cult members who are not belonging to any noble family. Those are my targets, but I want to let Celestine return and rest. She has been with me the whole journey so she needed some rest. As for me, I’m way physically gifted than her. There’s nothing to worry about my stamina.

“That’s why you can go back and rest. Victoria can come with you as well.” I said to Celestine in the room of an inn we stayed.

“No, I’m coming with you. Celestine can go back alone. I also don’t need to rest.” Victoria said.

.....

“...I see. Then, I’ll take that offer. It has been a while since I met the orphans back home. Once this royal capital has been cleaned up, bring me with you again to the last stop.” Celestine said.

“Do you also have some kind of connection with the King of Arturo?” I asked.

“No. We’re totally strangers. But I just want to see the end of this mission that I voluntarily participated. You have to bring me with you no matter what.”

“Okay, I understand. Once everything here is done, I’ll bring you back with me and we can continue our journey together. Arturo Kingdom will be our last stop before we return home.” I said.

Then, I opened a portal back to Cassau. I already informed Lina and the others through Sonia that Celestine will return while I will stay in Varadis. I have said it before, but if I returned home without completing my mission, I won’t have any more motivation to complete the mission.

I think Celestine also wanted to see this mission to the end. That’s why she’s feeling slightly reluctant to return.

We said our farewell, and it’s finally time for me to move alone. Well, not alone. Victoria is with me, and Spot as well. He’s wrapping himself around my waist like a belt.

“Roy. you don’t need her anymore?” Spot asked.

“It’s not that. It’s just the some of the targets will be impossible with her around. But I think I will need you to do some works.” I said.

“I’ll do it! Is it to kill and destroy? That’s what I do best!” Spot said.

“That might be the case. I’ll ask your help if I need it. I need to discuss how to do it with old man Henry first. I’m going to his place now.”

From the inn we’re staying, I can see that the old man is alone in his chamber. It’s a good time for a visit.

I leave the inn normally, and with Spot’s camouflage, we went to his chamber on Spot’s head. He’s still smaller than his original size, but enough for me to ride on his back. Or is it neck? Maybe it’s tail?

Oh, wait. If I use my Divine Vision, I can see his anatomy. I know which part is his neck, and which part is his body.

Let’s say that we divide his original size by twenty parts of the same length. It’s the length of his head. Let’s name each part as well from one to twenty.

So, one is his head. Then, two to three is his neck. Four to sixteen is his body. That’s very long. Which must be why it takes a while until he digests everything he eaten. Then, seventeen to twenty is his tail. And I’m sitting on number two. I guess that means I’m sitting on his neck.

We quickly arrived at his chamber, and the king who was not prepared to receive any guests was shocked. But he returns to his calm quickly.

“What’s wrong? You didn’t even contact me through Sonia.” Old man asked.

“This is not something I want anyone to hear. Not even a ghost. I’m here to give you report about the cult members that I couldn’t tell you before.” I said with a serious tone.

“It’s that important? I’ll hear it.” Old man stopped his works and looked at me directly.

“...they are children. Most of them are in their early teenage years and hadn’t awakened their magic yet.”

“Roy!” Victoria shouted in anger. She must be thinking that I returned Celestine back because I’m going to kill children. She’s half right. The reason I’m telling this to old man Henry is in case he knows a better option.

“...I see. That’s difficult. What are you going to do?” Old man asked.

“If there’s no other choice, I will kill them.” I said without any hesitation.

“...damn, boy! You’re crazy! But I guess for someone who hated the cult in two lifetimes, that’s as expected. I have a better idea.”

“What is it?”

“In a village near this royal capital, there’s someone I know. He was my best friend before and after I became the king. He’s as old as me. If you ask me who is the person that I can trust the most, it’s him. His magic element is one of the rarest. It’s hypnotism.” Old man said.

“Hypnotism!? I had never known that there’s such element. And you trusted him?”

“He’s my best friend and there are so many times that we played around just the two of us. He has all the time in the world to hypnotize me, but he never did that. How about we meet him right now? With Spot, we can get there in just a few minutes, right?” Old man asked.

“It’s easy! I’m very fast!” Spot said proudly.

“So, you want to ask his help to hypnotize the children? I guess that’s a better choice.” I said.

“Right. That’s why I wanted to ask him first. Let me do the talking. Because of his element, there are many dangerous people targeting him. After I became the king, I made sure to make everyone involved to think that he had died, but he just moved to a nearby village. It has been a while since we met, so I hope he still trust me.” Old man said.

“Then, let’s go. Do we need to get Albert?”

“No need to bother him. But if you can’t trust him, you can call Albert here.”

“...I’ll trust you, old man. And if there are too many people, he might be wary of us. Spot, let’s go!”

If old man’s best friend can hypnotize those children, there’s no longer any need for me to killing them.

Some of the children are from different orphanages. That makes those in charge of those orphanages is the most suspicious of all. that’s why I hadn’t attacked that place yet and killed those in charge.

Weirdly, the children are still under fifteen years old. Which mean none of them has awakened their magic. And that’s weird since it should be useless to put those explosive devices in their mouth. There’s no way they can be activated by those kids. But what if the cult already made a remote one that can be activated by someone else? Then maybe those children are forced to join the cult.

Thanks to meeting old man Henry, my mind cleared up a bit. I should have thought of this stuff from when I noticed that those kids have explosive devices in their mouth.

Thanks to old man, we might find a way to help those kids. It’s with old man’s best friend. But how can this person hypnotize the kids? I guess that’s why we needed to meet him first.

With us sitting on Spot’s back, I mean neck, we reached the village in just one minute.

The two of us covered ourselves with robes because we don’t want anyone to notice that the king is here. Of course, the robes are made from Blobbies.

It’s good that there’s no one here with explosive devices in their mouth. This place is close to the capital so I thought there are some cult members in hiding here, but I guess I was wrong.

We reached a slightly bigger house than the rest in the village, and I can see a grandpa is playing with his grandson in the garden of their house. He must be old man Henry’s friend. I hope he can help us.
