Divinity: Against The Godly System

Chapter 485: Level Up

Ryder turned back and started walking away, but there was a pleased look on his face as he counted inside his head, "One...Two..."

He stopped walking as soon as he finished counting to three. He turned back only to find the bulky man lying on the ground.

The man remained on the dust-covered ground, seemingly unconscious. Two items were lying inside the man’s body. One of which happened to be the torch that he had used to create the opening in the barrier, whereas the other was the pendant that Ryder had given to the man.

The pendant seemed a bit different, though. It was as if it had lost its color. It seemed a bit semi-transparent.

"The item Rale gave me did come in handy. Now this man won’t wake up before an hour, at least from what he had told me," Ryder muttered as he walked towards the man who was lying on the ground, unmoving.

As he reached the man, he picked up the pendant first and sent it in his inventory before he walked over to the torch-like item and picked it up as well.

"So you are going to help me enter," he let out as he placed the torch in his pocket before he shifted his gaze back at the man who was lying on the ground.

"I wonder if it counts towards the Kingship Trial. I need to kill the people of the Royal City. Is he from there or not?" Ryder thought as he raised his left hand.

There was a bracelet in his hand that was different from the Bracelet of Immortality.

"I really love this ability of Moon Scythe. It can change shapes as well. When it’s in pendant form, I can carry it with me, and no one can recognize," Ryder muttered as he waved his hand.

The Bracelet that was in his hand started getting bigger and changed shape as if it was water. It moved and appeared before his hand in the form of a Scythe.

Ryder held the scythe and roamed his gaze over his surroundings.

The bright sun was shining even brighter over this deserted ground, but fortunately, not a single person could be seen as far as his gaze reached.

He raised the Moon Scythe high in the sky before he slashed it down, stabbing the man.

He could see a small trickle down in the man’s HP, which seemed to be about five percent only.

"Come on, just how high is your level? Your HP gets down so slowly. Die fast before someone comes and sees me," Ryder said as he tightened his grip on the scythe.

His beautiful robe waved with the wind as he once again hackled down, decreasing the man’s HP even further.

Ryder kept attacking with his scythe again and again as the unconscious man remained unmoving.

After a long time and much more effort, he finally achieved success. Ryder knew that his arms would have been aching by now if he was in the real world, but in the world of Divinity, he had better stamina to cope with it.

Dark Tooth’s HP reached zero, and his body disappeared.

[Killed Dark Tooth]

[Experience: +50000000]

[ Level +1]

[ Level +1]

[ Level +1]

...

[ Level +1]

"What the heck? Just how strong was this guy? He alone was able to bring me to level 200? So much level gain. If all people in the Death Domain are so strong, then just by finishing the Kingship Trial, how strong will I be?" Ryder muttered in shock as he stared at the screen before him.

He was a level 200 player now? How was it so fast?

[Class Upgrade Available]

[Would you like to upgrade Class to Salem’s Demon Ruler?]

[Yes] [No]

"Another class Upgrade?" Ryder exclaimed in surprise as he saw the notification.

As it was a class available after reaching level two hundred, it was obviously going to be better than the previous class. However, he still decided to read what it was about to make sure he didn’t make an update by upgrading.

He tapped on the ’i’ Icon near the Notification.

[Salem’s Demon Ruler]

[As the inheritor of Salem and after achieving certain criteria, the inheritor can get the Salem’ Demon Ruler class]

"Strange. There’s no description of this class other than some useless stuff." Ryder gazed at the semi-transparent screen before his eyes as he rubbed his chin. "Is this a class that’s really worth upgrading?"

"Heck it. It shouldn’t be bad," he declared, not intending to waste too much time. Raising his right hand, he tapped on yes.

[Class Upgraded]

[Skill received: Demon Control]

"Demon Control, so that’s what this upgrade came with."

Ryder once again opened the description, hoping that it wouldn’t be as useless as last time. Fortunately, this time the description didn’t tell him the things he already knew. Instead, it actually gave him the description.

[Demon Control]

[Description: The caster can control the Demons up to a hundred levels higher than them for up to ten minutes.]

[Note: At most, hundred Demons can be controlled without upgrading the skill]

Ryder’s mouth slightly opened as he saw the skill’s description. It was a pretty overpowered skill for most. Using the skill, a level 200 player could control up to a hundred level 300 Demons? No one would call this ability useless except for Ryder.

He found it to be useless to the highest extent.

It is an ability that only works on Demons. And after he went back, finishing the Kingship Trial, he was going to become the Demon King.

As the Demon King, let alone a hundred Demons, but the entire Demon Realm was going to listen to him without any time duration. What use did this skill have then?

The only use he could think of was when he needed to control someone absolutely without taking to command them.

He closed the screen only to have another screen pop open in front of him as a notification resounded in his head.

[New Title Received: Shameless High Killer]

"This useless game. Why does it always give me such stupid astounding titles?"

Even though Ryder cursed, he still read the description of the title to see if it was worth anything.

[Shameless High Killer]

[Description: Title given to the players that use shameless methods to kill beings that are more than a hundred levels higher than them]

[HP: +50000]

[Mana: +600]

[Strength: +2000]

[Dexterity: +700]

[Speed: -200]

[Defence: -500]

"The heck? It not only increase some of my stats but also decrease some? The increased stats do seem worth it, though."

Ryder couldn’t help but lose himself in deep thought as he saw the description of the skill. It was a skill that had some advantages, but it also had some disadvantages.

"I have to lose a bit of my defense in exchange for my strength."

After some time looking at the advantages and disadvantages, he decided to equip this title as his second title. The primary title was still going to be Salem’s successor.

He hastily equipped the title before he started walking towards the barrier. He had wasted enough time here already. He needed to leave before the man Dark Tooth was waiting for arrived here.

He reached the barrier and used the torch to create a hole in the barrier that was wide enough for him to enter. The barrier right away started healing, but that much time was enough for Ryder to step inside the barrier.

He didn’t stop after entering the barrier. Instead, he started advancing towards the city while making sure that he wasn’t seen by anyone.

The first house of the city wasn’t too far away from the barrier, so it didn’t take him long to enter the populated area of the city. He was a stranger here, but no one was going to focus on him as a lot of strangers came from nearby cities in this city to sell items.

Ryder was wearing a long sleeve dress that was hiding his bracelet of immortality since that was his only problem. It was something that could give him away, so he kept it hidden.

Many guards patrolled the city, which was to be expected as it was the Royal City, but still, the security of this place didn’t seem as good as the security of the Demon Realm.

’Are these guys useless? Someone was smuggling items from the city, and they don’t even know? The guards of our Death Domain would never be as ignorant,’ he thought as he shook his head.

He soon thought of something that made him stunned.

Smuggling was taking place here, but the Prince didn’t know. Or he would have stopped it. What if the same thing was taking place in Demon Realm. It was possible that he wasn’t going to know about that either.

’Could it be that the security of Royal Cities is really that bad? These torch-like items, what if there are some for Demon Realm Barriers as well? If this is the case, the Demon Realm Royal City is not as secure as I thought...’ he frowned, imagining a scene where thousands of enemies crossed through their barrier.
