Divinity: Against The Godly System

Chapter 152 The Seal

Chapter 152: The Seal

Ryder didn’t use his Ruler of Nature to heal himself. Instead, he just drank the hp Potion to recover.

"That Bow can change shape? You’re definitely not a simple person to possess that," the Vampire General said as he started moving towards Ryder, but Rale came out of nowhere and hit Viden, making him fly away and crash on the frozen lake.

As the Vampire General crashed on the lake, a few cracks developed on it, but the ice still wasn’t broken, even though it was melting slowly.

"Your Highness, Can I release the seal? It would expose our identity if I do that, though," Rale asked Ryder.

"Let me ask again. Vampire General, We are not here to harm you. If you calm down, we can still handle the matters without taking things too far," Ryder said to the Vampire General.

He didn’t want to expose their identity as Demons. If Viden decided to escape, and this information spread, there was a good chance that the Undead Realm would not remain neutral. It would most probably join the Death Domain, which would not be beneficial for him or his kingdom.

"You should have thought about that before you killed one of my men," The Vampire General said as he stood up.

"What man? Why would we kill your man? I don’t know which man you’re talking about, but if we killed a vampire, wouldn’t we have his scent? As I said, we are not here to harm anyone. We only want to take back something that belongs to us. We can clear the misunderstanding," Ryder said to him.

"Silence! I don’t care for your words!" The Vampire General bellowed as he moved towards Rale.

"Alright, Rale, You have the permission to use that. Just make sure that he isn’t allowed to escape,’ Ryder told Rale as he sighed.

"Understood," Rale nodded his head.

He closed his fist as two wings appeared behind his back that he had kept hidden. As soon as the wings appeared, it was as if his power gained a complete boost.

It was something that the Grand Duke Orisis had told Ryder about Rale.

He had said that the whole Demon Realm thinks that Rale is as strong as a Duke, but they don’t know that Rale is actually even stronger. Even the Dukes don’t know about this. It is a secret that is only known by High Dukes. They kept it a secret so that no one knew how strong the one protecting the Royalty was.

Rale was from the family of Royal Protectors that had sworn to protect the Royal Members. His father, at his peak, was as strong as the High Dukes and protected the previous Kings. Even then, people didn’t know about his actual strengths.

Even during Rale’s father’s time, people thought that his father was as strong as the Dukes.

Even though Rale was not as strong as his father or the High Dukes, he was definitely much stronger than the Dukes. He kept his powers sealed most of the time to make him seem like his strength was comparable to the Dukes.

His strength, in reality, was somewhere in between the strength of the Dukes and the Strength of the High Dukes at the moment.

He could only remove his seal when he was in his full demon form, and that’s why he asked Ryder’s permission as he knew that once his Wings appear, the Vampire General will know that they were from the Demon Realm.

"Those Wings! You’re from the Demon Realm! I was right; you’re not the Undeads! You are the infiltrators from the Demon Realm. You should be their Duke! You called him Highness, so he must be the Prince of the Demon Realm! What a clever plan! I knew that the Demons were just as bad as the people from the Death Domain!’ the Vampire General roared as he pointed his finger towards Ryder.

"As I said, we weren’t here to harm anyone, but now we have no choice but to do it," Ryder muttered as he sighed.

As soon as his last word escaped his mouth, Rale moved his feet. He flew towards Vampire General Viden.

Both Viden and Rale attacked each other with their fist using their full strength, but this time, Rale wasn’t on the losing side.

Despite the strength that Viden received from his Blood Sacrifice, he was still not able to defeat Rale.

In a brief second, tens of punches were exchanged, but the results were not as Viden had expected. Rale’s attack, as well as his defense, was much higher. Viden’s skills were proving to be useless in front of Rale as well, but he was still holding on, without backing down, but it didn’t last long.

The effects of the skill were over, and Viden lost the strength he had gained. In fact, he only got weaker than he had initially been.

Rale’s fist landed on Viden’s face, making him fly far away and crash on a tree.

Rale walked up to him as he gripped his neck and raised him in the air.

"So that borrowed strength didn’t last long. Such a pity, I was enjoying the fight. It had been so long since I met such a good match," Rale muttered as he looked in the eyes of Viden that still looked resistant.

"Good-Bye," Rale said.

"Wait."

Rale was about to crush the neck of the Vampire General when Ryder stopped him.

Rale stopped and walked back to Ryder with Viden in his hand.

"If I’m not wrong, then your name must be Viden, the second strongest in the Vampire Clan after the Vampire King, Right?" Ryder asked.

"Kill me if you want, I’m not going to tell you anything," the Vampire General said.

"Oh, I don’t need anything from you. What can I ask from someone who doesn’t even own his life," Ryder muttered.

"I don’t really want to see you killed. As I had said multiple times before, our purpose was not to harm anyone here. We are here to get something back that belongs to us. You were the one that attacked us out of nowhere without even talking. So you are clearly in the wrong here. We have the complete right to kill you at our discretion since you were the one that tried to kill us first," Ryder said.

"Why aren’t you killing me then? Do you want to humiliate me by rubbing your victory on my face? You demons are even worse than others. Just wait till the King finds out," The Vampire General told Ryder as he snorted.

"The Vampire King? And how will he find out?" Ryder asked with a slight smile on his face, but he suddenly looked back as he heard a sound.
