~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~
~~~(Location: Capital City Jeelora, Desert, The Continent Of Alforza)~~~
~~~(Time: 4:41 PM)~~~
In a flash of light, Sally and I are teleported from Maero to Jeelora using my Angelic Teleportation. As I look at the massive city from outside its walls, the sound of Sally throwing up breaks my immersion.
Instead of doing nothing, I gently place my hand on her back and crouch down with her. Helping to ease her. Angelic Teleportation messes with people that don't have Angelic blood.
"I hate..."
BLAAAAAAGHH!!!
"That..."
The poor girl is not happy about having to travel that way. But it was the quickest way to get here. And The Des'merta want to free the people trapped in The Regaliance Kingdom and stop their sick practices.
My attempts to convince them using Rahab was a bad idea have been fruitless. They're convinced of the opposite. I thought they were intelligent people, but it seems that I was wrong.
"I know that Angelic Teleportation isn't on your list of things you want to do, but it's not like time is on our side here. It was the fastest way. I promise to make it up to you."
My lovely girlfriend looks at me with a crooked look, and I can see the deviant ideas behind her eyes. She's thinking about bedroom antics. I was talking about food. But here, who am I to stop her from jumping my bones when she wants to?
"Let's just get this over with. You'll stick out once we're in the city. That halo above your head makes it impossible to do anything stealthy anymore. They wanted us to take it to the center of Jeelora, right?"
Sally stands up and dusts off her clothes. Speaking about the objective as to why we're here. We've even got a quest to proc. Sally has started to really get used to being a Player. She's enjoying the perks that come with it.
The first is the quest menu. One of the best parts about the system and having access to it. She looks at me with renewed confidence.
"C'mon, what're you waiting for?"
It's not long before we're in at the front of the gate. Everyone is staring at my halo. Word has likely already spread toward the leaders of this place that I'm here. But I'm not here to speak to anyone.
We get through the security checkpoint with no problems and start walking down the main road that leads through Jeelora.
Eyes are locked on us, and that's understandable, given what they're looking at. Sally has become just as popular as me. Since people know her for traveling with me.
We make it to the center of the city, and there is a large castle that awaits us. The guards at the front are being shouted at as we approach. A commanding officer barking orders.
"You idiots!! That's not the proper formation!!! You're really going to embarrass me in front of Angel Zern himself!!!? I should have all you slaves lynched!!!"
That's when things take a turn for the worse.

"I'm terribly sorry for the display at the front gate. If we knew someone of your status was coming to our city, we would've been prepared."
My eyes burn holes through the King as he sits on his throne. He's speaking slowly to Cera, and he's red in the face. Mostly from his obese form. The King is severely fat, and beautiful slave women surround him.
It's taking all my willpower not to kill this man where he sits his fat ass. I hate men like this. Wealthy slavers turn people into their playthings. This is why I'm doing this.
"Thank you for letting us in your castle. But we're not here for any pleasantries, I'm afraid. But before I get into why we're here, would you mind telling me why Regaliance is the way it is? Who made it this way?"
Cera has many qualities I love about him. His constant pursuit of knowledge and information is one of them. But there are times to suppress that. This isn't a place and people I want to learn about.
The King takes on a thoughtful expression before clapping his fat and meaty fingers. Several men and women in slave collars come out. However, they're also wearing robes of scholarly design. Like they're students or something.
"These are The Keepers of Knowledge for Jeelora and Regaliance. The questions you're seeking answers to aren't known to me."
Figures. The King is ruling over a Kingdom and knows not its history, only what it can offer him. We need to get this slaughter on the road.
Now.
I don't know why Cera hasn't taken the device out yet and used it. Rahab will be here within a day of its activation, and he'll go on a rampage here. It needs to happen.
"What are you waiting for?"
The whispered question comes out more aggressively than I wanted it to. Only Cera can hear me. Since everyone else is busy discussing how they'll answer his questions.
"I want to know who's responsible for creating such a Kingdom. They have advanced technology and magic. Yet, they carry out intense slavery? That's an archaic form of government for such a powerful people."
That damned curiosity of his!!

"And that's when Tesheldo, The Great, formed The Regaliance Kingdom. After enslaving the resident Des'merta, it was decreed that for the people of Regaliance to continue to grow, that slaves were needed."
That's a brutal tale, indeed. However, I've entertained the knowledge of this place for long enough. Sally is on edge and is about to blow. She's usually more calm than this, but seeing this many slaves in one place has a very negative effect on her.
"That's quite a lot of history, and that's only to the point of your Kingdom forming. That was a long time ago, as well. However, I believe I've heard enough."
That's when I pull the device out of my Player Inventory. It's a cylindrical object with a button. It looks small now, but once I press the button. It'll transform into a massive beacon.
"Would you like to do the honors?"
I figure Sally should have this moment, considering I've made her stand there and listen to the past hour and change.
She snatches the device from my hand with no hesitation. Pressing the button and throwing it toward the King. He catches it and looks at it strangely. Before it begins to glow.
"What th-!"
"HAAAA-!!
SPAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
A sinking sound of flesh exploding fills the throne room. The large beacon sprouts upward from where the King and his throne once sat. Guards begin swarming the room, and that's when I notice that they're wearing slave collars too.
How many people are actually slaves in this city?
A brilliantly bright beam of energy fills the sky, and it releases a subtle hum. Rahab himself is on his way here. The Last Levithan. The Des'merta will feel his wrath when this is over but to them. It's worth it.

"We're two days out from the attack of The Ruins Of Tasdir. I think we should start talking about a general game plan. We'll have a head start, and no one will be able to follow where we're going. But that doesn't mean we should just sit here and plan nothing."
Marcus breaks everyone from their breakfast, and that's when I can't help but mentally sigh. Rianna and Kelly hardly stop eating to listen to his words.
He's got a lot left to learn about women.
