Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 261 Arrival

Chapter 261: Arrival

Ryder was informed of the arrival of the Vampire King. He slowly opened his eyes and stood up as he looked around.

"The Vampire King is waiting outside the barrier with High Duke Eston. We'll need to go there to allow them to enter," Devilia said to Ryder and the others.

Ryder glanced towards Rale with a questioning gaze.

Rale nodded his head as if he understood Ryder's meaning.

When Ryder and Rale were alone in the room, Ryder had also talked about something else with Rale.

He had told Rale one of his concerns, which would be negative for them.

Ryder had told Rale about the Vampire King and how he could recognize blood. They both knew that when they were in the Undead Region, both of them had bled. In the alternate reality, the Vampire King had recognized Ryder's involvement in the death of his general through his blood. He knew that if he or Rale bled this time, the results might be the same.

So he had told Rale to do everything he could to make sure that he didn't bleed. He was said to be alert at all cost and save himself from even the slightest of injuries. Ryder had ordered Rale to do it, and Rale had agreed.

Ryder had also told Miku not to come before the Vampire King. Even though Miku hadn't gone to the Undead Region with them, Ryder knew that she was vulnerable. She knew about them going there, and if the Vampire King used his mind-reading ability on Miku, then they might be exposed.

Ryder was protected from that ability because of his special crown that had the ability to protect against mental attacks. Rale was also protected from this ability since it only worked on people that were weaker than a Duke.

"High Duke Mila, Do you need for us to come with you?" Ryder asked Mila

"Not really. Devilia and I will be enough. You guys stay behind. I'll bring them here safely," High Duke Mila replied as she shook her head.

"Alright. You go ahead. We'll wait back here," Ryder said as he nodded his head. He sat back on his throne once again.

High Duke Mila and Devilia left the great hall and flew towards the entrance of the city where the Vampire King and High Duke Eston were waiting for them.

Devilia and High Duke Mila landed before the barrier, the other side of which stood the Vampire King and High Duke Eston.

"They look pretty eager. Hah, both of them are impatient guys," High Duke Mila smiled as they saw the impatient look on the faces of both men.

"Aren't all guys impatient? His Highness were being impatient too. He really wants to catch the Black Skeleton King," Devilia replied as she smiled.

"True. He's really a caring prince. I can't wait to see him when he has reached his peak. If Prince Hades is so good, I can only wonder how amazing King Hades will be," High Duke Mila replied as she shook her head.

"What are they doing? When are they going to let us enter? They're just talking there," The Vampire King looked at High Duke Eston as he asked with a frustrated look on his face.

"Hey, ladies! Are you going to open the entrance or not?" High Duke Eston asked with a wry smile on his face as he looked at High Duke Mila.

"So impatient," High Duke Mila muttered as she shook her head.

She waved her hand and made a door shaped opening in the barrier.

The High Duke and the Vampire King entered through the opening.

As soon as they entered the city, the barrier disappeared.

"Finally, we're inside. You made us wait for quite some time," High Duke Eston said to High Duke Devilia.

"You literally had to wait a few minutes. What are you even talking about?" High Duke Mila asked High Duke Eston as she shook her head.

" Stop your loving banter. If I were you, I would be more concerned about the Black Skeleton King roaming in your city. He can cause so much destruction; you have no idea. Also, since it seems like he's with the Death Domain, it'll be even more dangerous," The Vampire King said in an annoyed tone.

" And we can thank the Undead Region for that. They just had to be the p.a.w.ns of the Death Domain against us! In the last war as well, we fought less Warriors from Death Domain and fought their Undead Slaves more. I still don't understand why you guys are still neutral even after they treat you like slaves," High Duke Mila said sarcastically as she shrugged.

The Vampire King glared at her angrily.

" They can control the weaker Undeads, so it's not my responsibility to take care of them. They can't control the Vampires, and I don't care about them. Why would I do anything about the Death Domain? They're your enemies. You should take care of them. It's not like I want to help you. I'm only here to find my General. Since it seems like the Black Skeleton King and whoever is controlling him is responsible for this scheme, I want to help catch them and get to the end of it. Don't get any ideas like I'm breaking the neutrality of the Undead Region by doing it," The Vampire King let out as he frowned.

"Hmph," High Duke Mila rolled her eyes and didn't say anything.

"Think whatever makes you feel better at night. We both know the reality. Most of the Undead Region is a slave of the Death Domain. You have the power to change that, but you're too scared. As for the excuses for it, I'm sure you can come up with thousands of them," High Duke Mila ultimately said.

The Vampire King was about to reply, but High Duke Eston cut him off since he knew that this would only increase this little argument further and waste more time.

" We're getting late. We really shouldn't delay this important matter. Let's go to the Palace and meet up with his Highness," High Duke Eston said.

High Duke Mila nodded her head as she started flying towards the Palace. Devilia also followed after her. High Duke Eston flew near the Vampire King, keeping an eye on him.

The citizens of the city saw them flying back, and they were once again shocked.

"High Duke Eston is here as well? I feel like something is really wrong. Two High Dukes are in this city, and this city has been sealed," One of the demons said as he frowned.

"I'm getting worried too. It doesn't seem like a simple matter, or the other High Duke wouldn't be called here. Are we under attack from the Undead?" Another Demon inquired.

" The appearance of a skeleton, the sealing of the city, and then the appearance of another High Duke. It seems like that. We might actually be under attack. I think we should stay inside our homes. Don't go out until there's any update, or the seal isn't removed. It's going to be a long day," the first demon said with a concerned look on his face.

Most of the Demons had understood about it. They all realized that something was wrong here. They were all getting restless. Most of them chose to hide in their houses and waited for the thing to pa.s.s over.

The Vampire King and the others landed near Devilia's Palace and entered inside.

They all entered the palace of Devilia and appeared before Ryder inside the great hall.

"Sigh, finally, you're here. You guys made me wait for so long," Ryder smiled wryly as he stood up.

"Ah, yeah. We did get delayed for some reason," High Duke Eston replied as he subtly glanced at High Duke Mila.

"It's fine. Now that you're here, we can begin. Let's start now. I don't want to wait even a second. High Duke Mila, Tell High Duke Eston the spell he needs to cast to link with all guards. After that, we can start. The guards will search the city, and where we get any information, we'll leave to catch the Black Skeleton King," Ryder said as he glanced at High Duke Mila.

High Duke Mila nodded her head.

High Duke Eston, on the other hand, stood confused, wondering what they were talking about. What had happened? What were they talking about? he couldn't help but wonder, but everything was clear after High Duke Mila told him about the spell.

"Ah, so this is what you were talking about. You just want to give this boring task to me. Isn't that why you didn't do it?" High Duke Eston asked as he glanced at High Duke Mila. He did talk in a low voice so that only High Duke Mila could hear him.

High Duke Mila smiled like a child whose plan had succeeded.

"Alright. I'll do it," High Duke Eston sighed as he nodded his head.
