Divinity: Against The Godly System

Chapter 120: We'll be killed

’She’s definitely pretty. I would never have thought that High Duke Oris’ daughter would look like that,’ Ryder thought. Eventually, Felina walked out of the Throne Room and disappeared from his vision.

Ryder glanced at the invitation and observed it. The invitation seemed like a coin that had High Duke Oris’ picture on one side and his birthday on the other side.

"Where is Rale?" Ryder asked Miku.

"Master Rale is in the training room like always," Miku replied.

"I like how he’s so hardworking. He’s mostly always in the training room helping his teammates train," Ryder let out as he chuckled.

He put the invitation coin in his storage space and stood up.

Ryder walked out of the Throne Room, whereas Miku followed after him.

’Your Highness, are you going away again?" Miku asked.

"Yeah, I’ll be leaving for a long time this time. You’ll have to handle everything back here," Ryder told her.

"I will try my best, Your Highness. But I hope you can come back as soon as you can. High Duke Oris’ birthday is coming. The city is about to get more active, and I’m sure some people would even come to meet you," Miku said with a concerned look on her face.

"I understand that, but I don’t want to delay my work. If anyone asks, just tell them I’m sleeping and keep delaying them until they eventually leave. It’s not like anyone can enter my room to see if I’m there or not," Ryder said as he chuckled.

"I’ll do so," Miku said.

Ryder entered the training room as he pushed the doors open. He saw Rale practicing with the other guys.

"Your Highness," They all greeted Ryder.

"Is everyone ready to leave?" Ryder asked.

"Yes. Our team of 20 is ready and waiting for your orders," Rale said, full of zest

"Let’s go then. The faster we leave, the faster we’ll come back," Ryder let out as he left the training hall.

Rale and his team members followed after him.

They got down to the basement that had the spatial tunnel connecting to various places.

"That one will lead us to the Undead Region," Rale reminded Ryder as he pointed towards one of the doors.

"I remember," Ryder smilingly responded as he started taking out the keys. He had so many keys and had no idea which of those keys opened the doorway to Undead Region.

He started trying out the keys, and on the 6th try, the key matched.

"Found it," Ryder muttered as he opened the door and exposed the Space Tunnel.

"Your Highness, I should go first and test things out. I don’t want you to leave and get caught by the Undead Region Kings. I’ll come back after seeing the other side," Rale said.

"Alright. You can go first then," Ryder gave the permission.

Rale entered the space tunnel and didn’t come back for 5 minutes.

"Could it be that something went wrong?" Ryder muttered as he looked towards the Space Tunnel.

He was thinking about doing something, but Rale came back.

"Everything is safe, Your Highness," Rale said.

"Alright," Ryder nodded his head and entered the space tunnel.

He stepped out on the other side of the tunnel.

"I must say, this is exactly what I expected from a place called Undead Region," Ryder muttered as he looked around.

The place looked dark and gloomy. Even the grass was black in color, unlike the usual green.

There were trees there as well, but most of the trees had no leaves on them. The rare few trees that had leaves on them had pitch-black leaves as well.

The air seemed to be filled with death.

Ryder looked to his left and saw a skeleton lying on the ground.

Rale and the others stepped out of the tunnel as well.

"I saw it standing here when I came out. I destroyed it," Rale told Ryder as he saw him looking towards the skeleton.

"Oh, that’s alright," Ryder muttered.

"Now we need to find someone to tell us where we are and how to get to our destination," Ryder let out as he looked around.

"Walking will consume too much time; we’ll go by air and find a town or a village. After getting the information, our trip will be much easier," he told Rale.

"That might be dangerous. Vampires can fly, if we managed to meet them, or they saw us, things might get problematic. I’ll handle them in most situations, but if the Vampire King came, we would all die. I suggest Your Majesty reconsider. The town wouldn’t be far. We can walk there," Rale said.

"Don’t worry about the Vampire King. If I met him, I’d just redo everything," Ryder responded.

"Redo everything?" Rale asked with a confused look on his face.

"Don’t think about that. Just have faith in me. I won’t let any of us be truly killed," Ryder replied.

"Alright. We’ll fly," Rale nodded his head. Wings appeared behind his back.

They all started flying towards the direction that Ryder randomly chose.

After flying for over half an hour, they saw a small town at some distance.

Ryder told Rale to get down. Rale and the others listened to his command and got down.

They walked the rest of the distance on foot. All of them were wearing a long cloak that hid their entire bodies and even their faces to some extent.

"Let’s hope we find more stories in the town then just skeletons, otherwise we’ll stay lost," Ryder muttered.

Rale informed him that the skeletons weren’t able to talk. Ryder hoped that the town was more than just a skeleton town.

They reached the town and entered its boundaries, but it only led to disappointment as Ryder saw no species other than a skeleton.

Everywhere he looked, he saw skeletons roaming around the city.

"This place seems useless," Ryder muttered in disappointment.

"Not entirely," Rale replied.

"Why not? The skeletons can’t talk," Ryder said, but he noticed the direction Rale was looking in and saw a female ghoul there.

The body of the ghoul seemed to be rotten, and her left hand was missing.

"She should be able to talk," Rale told Ryder.

"Yeah," Ryder muttered.

They walked towards the ghoul together.

"What do you need?" the ghoul asked as she saw Ryder and the others stand before her.

"We need some answers. Can you answer a few of our questions?" Ryder inquired.

"Answer okay," the ghoul said.

"Where are we?" Ryder asked her.

" Home," the ghoul said.

"I know it’s your home, but I need the name of this town. What’s the name of the town," Ryder inquired.
