Divinity: Against The Godly System

Chapter 339 New Skill

Chapter 339: New Skill

"Hah, do you think you can fool me? You can’t run!" The Thirteenth King told Ryder as he frowned.

" Yes! Do it now!" Ryder let out loud as he glanced behind the Thirteenth King.

Even though the Thirteenth King was very careful and knew that Ryder was trying to distract him, he didn’t know that Ryder possessed the Art of Bluffing, which he had received from the Mystery Box of the system.

It made his lies more believable, so much so that finding if he was bluffing or not was impossible.

The Thirteenth King unwillingly looked back.

As the Five Black Robes men saw the Thirteenth King turn back, they were surprised. They thought Ryder would never be able to fool the Thirteenth King but watching the Thirteenth King look back made them realize how wrong they were.

The Twelfth King smiled as he glanced at Ryder. He was getting more and more impressed with Ryder the more this fight progressed.

He couldn’t join the Battle and finished it instantly, but as the Thirteenth King was a hot-headed person, he wasn’t going to put his feet in his matters until he was actually needed. He was simply watching and observing Ryder, which was enough to make him know how special Ryder was, more so than the Thirteenth King.

Ryder smirked as he saw the Thirteenth King turn back.

He raised his Trident into the air and used all the strength he had collected to throw it towards the Thirteenth King.

The Thirteenth King glanced back and soon realized that he was fooled.

He instantly turned back and saw the three points of trident coming towards him.

"You think that can get me?" The Thirteenth King snorted as he rolled his eyes.

Ryder observed carefully to see what the Thirteenth King did.

He couldn’t see if it was invisible wind blades with the bullet, but with the trident made of water, he could see if something like an air blade passed through the water, which was going to be visible for a brief second.

Ryder was waiting to see how the Thirteenth King was going to react and what his range was.

As the trident entered within the Ten Meters range of the Thirteenth King, Ryder was finally able to see something.

He could see many cuts appearing in the Trident. It didn’t seem like a giant wind blade, but what seemed like a wind blade that was the length of a knife. Not only one, but he saw tens of cuts appearing in the Trident like these.

It was obvious that the masked man could form tens of invisible blades like this. These were the things that were keeping his bullets away by hitting them precisely and changing their trajectory.

Unfortunately, these blades weren’t able to harm the trident as the Trident was made entirely of water and wasn’t solid. Its direction didn’t change at all. Moreover, whatever damage it suffered was healed instantaneously.

Ryder watched the Trident heal with the help of the rain that was falling on top of the trident and smiled. It seemed like another one of the abilities of the weapons created by the ruler of nature. They could heal themselves as long as they were under the rain. This discovery made Ryder somewhat happy.

It meant that his weapons were even more amazing than he could have hoped.

Even the Thirteenth King was surprised as he saw the Trident being unaffected.

The Thirteenth King was stunned, yet he moved fast. He moved his body to the left, dodging the Trident. Even though he was fast, the Trident still managed to graze his shoulder.

The Thirteenth King stood straight and glanced at his shoulders. He could see a light blood wound on his shoulder.

"Hahaha, you finally managed to wound me. Are you happy? Let me guess; you think you forced me out of my tricks and manager to wound me. You might even think you found a way to beat me, don’t you? You forgot one thing, though," The Thirteenth King muttered as he sighed.

"So what if I can’t use the old way. I still have thousands of ways to stop your attack, but I’m not going to waste them on you. I won’t use those and give you the right to brag that you forced me to use all my abilities. Go on, kid, show all your tricks. What else do you have?" He added.

"I’ll give you ten minutes. Try everything. I won’t use any other abilities except the ones I’ve already used. Kill me if you can, and you win. If you can’t kill me in ten minutes, the eleventh minutes will be the moment of your death!" the Thirteenth King said as he continued chasing after Ryder.

"Just what kind of monster is he! I have offense, but he can Dodge. I have bullets, but he can divert. I have speed, but he’s faster! Is this even a battle or a chase?" Ryder muttered as he smiled wryly.

"Janus! Do you have any defensive skills that can protect me?" Ryder asked Janus as he frowned.

[There is a Skill that can protect you for a short amount of time]

Janus’s words ignited hope in Ryder’s mind. If he could get close without dying for even a single minute, that could be game-changing for him.

"Good. I can’t open the store right now. Can you get that skill for me and make me instantly learn it? You can take the Origin Points," Ryder said to Janus.

He was glad to have some hope. Janus had previously made him instantaneously learn the skills in exchange for some origin points, which made him know that he could do it again.

"What are you waiting for? Get me that skill," Ryder said as he didn’t get anything from Janus even after all this while.

[Origin Points insufficient to buy the skill]

Janus replied straight away, crushing Ryder’s hopes.

"If I don’t have Origin Points, give me a loan and get me the skill. Please, I need that. Not only for right now, but for the next time I face him as well!" Ryder insisted again.

He had previously taken a loan of Origin Points from Janus, which he had managed to pay off, but in return, he lacked the Origin Points to buy the Skills he needed.

He decided to take another loan to get the skill.

[Loan can’t be taken. It can only be taken once every three months]

Janus once again crushed all of Ryder’s hopes as he said no to giving out a loan.
