Without wasting any time, he hurriedly followed his friends to wherever they were taking him.
On the way, he also asked Theodora about everything he could think of.
He also found that his Touch of Temptation and Devil Tongue had significant results just from a simple touch or words, thanks to his higher level.
The castle was very long, as if in real life it shouldn't be possible at all.
Not to mention, the deeper they went, the less populated it became.
'Man, this is just a shit show. I don't wanna play it anymore. Let me just solo this Vhalla, the Night Bloom.'
Vhalla, the Night Bloom, was the lady Theodora was talking about. The demonic vulture was her little pet.
The final Boss of this castle and this arc.
But that wasn't the only thing he learned about this woman.
There was something else—a dark secret that nobody knew outside this place.
And with that information came something else to Kaisen. A revelation. A betrayal he now knew about.
Of course, he was sad.
How could he not be sad? But he decided to tackle this situation as carefully as possible.
Step~ step~ screech~
The Night Shades carrying Maximus and Llyod came to a stop near a large double door, guarded by two busty guardians.
The duo tried to escape, but the grip of the Night Shades proved to be stronger than them.
Kaisen and Theodora crouched behind a broken wall piece, watching the scene with interest.
At least, one of them was interested while the other was biting her lips in fear.
"I-I can't. I can't come with you. Th-this is betrayal against my lady. The biggest sin there ever was."
Theodora was understandably scared.
Kaisen had basically abducted this woman, groped her into saying things she wasn't supposed to say, and now she was with him in front of a room she wasn't even supposed to be near.
This was her greatest betrayal she had ever committed.
'Well, too bad. This is just a game. Nothing real about it. And besides, if she's this scared about betraying her lady, then what about the millions of people she and her lady kidnapped?'
Kaisen shook his head.
If he knew this wasn't his reality, he would've said, "fuck it," and started thrashing the whole area since he was strong, but since he wasn't sure if his actions here could have consequences in real life, he decided to play it safe.
"Look, Theo, I don't really care about what you think or what you believe in. What I care about are the lives of my friends. I'm not leaving them here."
"I-I can't... let you go either. My only duty is to guide you to my lady's throne room and nothing more."
Theodora shook her head.
She had gotten the message that if a guest, who rightfully earned an audience with the lady, came to her or any other guardians, they were to guide him to her lady's throne room.
And unfortunately for Theodora, the guest chose her. She never thought he would be so shrewd, touching her, exploiting her, and taking advantage of the fact that he was her lady's guest.
She could let that go, but for him to want to enter the sacred ritual site was a big no-no. She could not allow that.
"Theo, your lady has been abducting innocent people and turning them into mindless zombies to invade a whole world. Do you really think—did you really think this is what your potential was for?! You have been lied to, Theo. Your lady is a monster, and she's the one who's going to destroy everything."
Kaisen tried to reason with the stubborn guardian.
"N-no... th-that's not true. Lady Vhalla is not a monster. She's a merciful lady. She is a goddess. She's helping these poor souls to find their purpose. She's building an army to counter the invasion of the Sol creatures."
?!
"Yeah, yeah, I don't care about that. Move aside, you're in my way."
He waved off their warning and kept walking.
"Halt! Warning is enough. We won't hesitate to kill you."
They roared, but seeing his nonchalant expression, their eyes turned fierce, and they unsheathed their swords.
"Kill him!"
"Kill him!!"
They roared again and dashed towards him with incredible speed. Before, he might have cowered and run away.
He might have tried to talk things through and find a peaceful resolution.
But not anymore. He was Kaisen, the Morning Star. The devil himself. And no one was going to stand in his way.
"Tch, annoying ants. I'll crush you under my feet," Kaisen scoffed.
He didn't bother summoning his new weapon.
Why bother? His bare hands were more than enough to handle these fools.
Swoosh~
The first attack came.
A sword swung towards his head, and he casually leaned back, letting it sail harmlessly above him.
Just as the guardian started to withdraw her sword, Kaisen grabbed her breastplate with one hand and gave it a good tug.
The breastplate ripped apart, revealing a surprisingly toned physique underneath, complete with a pair of generously endowed breasts topped with two bright red nipples.
"..."
The guardian, caught off guard by her suddenly exposed state, stood frozen in shock. She never had fought against a tactic like this.
Like, who would use such a tactic in the midst of a life threatening battle, right?
Who else, the Morning Star himself.
Taking advantage of the moment, Kaisen couldn't resist grabbing her breast and giving it a firm squeeze.
"Aaaahh~"
The guardian let out an unexpected moan, her knees buckling as she plopped down onto her rear.
[Reward: 200 lust points]
A devilish smile formed on Kaisen's lips as he saw the reward notification.
"Oh, did that feel good?"
He taunted the guardian, whose breast he continued to squeeze and massage.
"Ah~"
The guardian gasped, her face turning red underneath her helmet.
"You bastard! How dare you?!"
The other guardian roared and charged forward, enraged at seeing her companion, a supposed elite, being molested.
"Oh? You want some too? Okay, come here, my plaything."
Kaisen said with a smirk.
It was time to show who the real boss was.
