Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 95 Under Attack

Chapter 95: Under Attack

Ryder was surprised to see a 5'5" tall man standing outside the Ancestral Hall. The man was wearing a beautiful golden crown and a l.u.s.trous red robe.

Behind the man stood over 500 Elvian Guards that were holding their weapons in their hands.

"Rale? It looks like we'll have to engage. I hoped that this would be over peacefully, but I guess that's not an option anymore," Ryder said softly as he glanced at the King.

"Amelia, Olivia, we didn't expect that you would betray our trust and bring strangers to our Ancestral Temple! Why!" The king let out loudly as he glared at the Princesses.

The princesses were worried as they saw their father. They did all this so that no lives were to be lost, but in the end, that's what it all came to.

"Father, Please listen to me. I…" Princess Amelia tried speaking, but she stopped abruptly as she heard the King shouting, "Silence! We don't want to hear any excuses! You betrayed our trust. You are not my daughters anymore! You know the punishment for intruders, right? They are to be slaughtered in front of every citizen! Guards catch them all! Don't worry about harming the princesses. Treat them like intruders!"

50 of the guards ran towards Ryder and the others with their swords, but before they could get near Ryder, Ryder looked slightly upwards and gave a simple command, "It's wartime! Kill them!"

"No, don't!" Princess Amelia let out loud as she looked towards Ryder, but she was too late.

19 Demon Guards of Ryder appeared in between Ryder and the running guards. It didn't even take 2 minutes before the bodies of 50 Elvian Guards could be seen lying on the ground.

"We have no other option, Little Princess. If I show weakness now, all of us would be killed, including you and your sister," Ryder said to Amelia.

The king, on the other hand, was alarmed as he saw the Demons appear. The team of his strongest Elves was killed in an instant.

"You are not humans! Who are you?" The King bellowed as he glared at Rale.

He considered Rale to be the leader as he looked strongest.

"We are someone who doesn't want to harm you. If you let us leave, no more lives will be lost!" Ryder replied.

"Kid! Who allowed you to speak! I'm talking to your leader!" The King berated Ryder.

"Tell me who you are! Why have you infiltrated our land!" The King asked Rale again.

Rale just looked at Ryder and waited for his orders.

"Rale, you think you can take care of him?" Ryder asked Rale.

"It is possible, Your Highness," Rale replied.

The King heard how Rale addressed Ryder and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Good. We are leaving. Kill whoever tries attacking us, even if it's the King himself," Ryder let out in a carefree tone as he began walking towards the King.

"You arrogant Kid! You think you can disrespect me!" The King bellowed as he himself ran towards Ryder. He moved as fast as lightning as he punched towards Ryder, but Rale appeared in front of Ryder and attacked the King in a similar manner.

Both of their fists collided, but it seemed as if the King was the one defeated in the clash.

Although none of them took a step back, from the facial expressions of the King, it was clear that he was in pain.

The bones of his fist were cracked, but he didn't let out any noise in order to maintain his dignity as he stepped back.

The King moved back enough so that the distance between them became 50 meters.

The wind has started flowing towards the south amidst the growing tensions between both sides. Even though the guards saw their king move back, they believed that it was his strategy and not because he was defeated in the clash.

Although the Elvian Guards didn't notice it, Ryder and his team were absolutely clear as to what actually happened. It was clear that they absolutely didn't need to worry about the king. Even the princesses were surprised at it.

"ARCHERS! FIRE!" the King commanded as loud as he could. His powerful voice echoed in the whole region.

The Elvian Guards that were standing at the back of the army raised their bows and aimed their arrows towards Ryder.

At once, hundreds of arrows cut through the air and rained over Ryder and his team.

The Princesses were scared as they saw a barrage of arrows coming towards them.

"Protection of Aria!" Rale spoke softly as a bright yellow barrier spread out with him at the center. The barrier covered Ryder, his team, and the Princesses.

The rain of arrows fell over the barrier, but they weren't able to pa.s.s through. Not even a single arrow managed to enter the barrier.

"Once more! Don't stop!" The King saw the arrows getting deflected, but the King didn't give up and commanded them to attack once again.

The rain of arrows continued for a long time, but the barrier didn't seem to be diminis.h.i.+ng at all.

The king was starting to get restless. He couldn't understand where these guys came from before. He knew about the kingdom of nearby species, but even they weren't as strong as these guys.

"Father, stop! It's not going to work! Please let them go. We did all this so that no unnecessary lives could be lost, but if you don't stop, our effort will go to waste! Please!" Princess Amelia screamed loudly in hopes of getting her father to understand.

"I didn't know that a day like this would come, but now that it has happened, I have no choice left but to use the relics of the past left behind by the First King," the King said as he took a small coin-shaped token out of his pockets.

The Small Coin Shaped Token was semi-transparent, but it did have a small carving that seemed as if it was a map of the Lightning Valley.

"Akhabis Bik.u.mina Wartis Escotia Destructina Intrusa!" the King started muttering a small spell.

Princesses saw the coin in the King's hands. Their faces lost all their color immediately. It was as if they had seen something really horrible.

"Father, Please don't!" the Princesses bellowed, but before their words could reach the King, the king's spell was completed.

The whole Lightning Valley started shaking as if it was going through a ma.s.sive earthquake.

Ryder was frowning through it all.

He saw the horrified look on the girls' faces and couldn't help but ask them what was happening.
