Divinity: Against The Godly System

Chapter 513 Frontal Assault



Chapter 513: Frontal Assault

"Alright. Since we’re already going to attack, we might as well attack now when they are overwhelmed," High Duke Magna said, intending to attack as well.

After what he saw, it seemed evident that the enemy was unprepared. Maybe it was actually better to wipe them here now that they had a chance.

"Alright. High Duke Mila, you stay with High Duke Duke Eaton, protecting him. You can also keep attacking the enemies from here. In the meantime, High Duke Magna, High Duke Oris, and I will go take care of the enemy at their base," Ryder commanded the rest as he caught High Duke Oris’s hand.

Only when he was touching High Duke Oris could he teleport with him.

"Oh wait, Don’t Teleport now. I have a gift for them," he suddenly called out as he realized something.

He looked back at the body of the Third Spirit Emperor, grinning.

How could he forget about something so important? The Fragment of life had given him the ability to bring one dead body to life to be used as he wished. Even though it could only last for a short time, it was enough for his purpose.

Moreover, a dead body of a Spirit General that didn’t worry about death was a perfect weapon to use in this situation. They were basically using their enemy to attack their enemy.

He touched the body of the Spirit Emperor and kept it in his inventory. He wanted to call it out later.

"Let’s leave now."

After finishing, he once again caught the hand of High Duke Oris. Rale also did the same since he wasn’t going to leave Ryder alone.

"Ready?" High Duke Oris asked.

"Yes."

"Three... two...one... Now!".

At the count of one, both High Duke Oris and Magna teleported right at the enemy camp.

Ryder used the invisibility right away as he started flying towards the Princess nearby.

The High Dukes started attacking all the leaders of the Spirit Realm, killing them left and right.

The huge commotion attracted a lot of attention.

The Second Spirit General was the only one alive, but he couldn’t let the enemies do as he wished

"Your Highness, use the Defensive Barrier on yourself. And give me a boost from the back. Also, give me the minute immortality so I can protect us!" Second Spirit General said to Alice as he started flying towards the High Dukes that were advancing towards them while killing anyone in their path like they were an unstoppable force.

"Protection of Goddess!" Alice called out as she again used one of her skills.

It was a skill that made a Shield all around her to protect her from the enemies and all the attacks.

Unlike the golden pillar, the shield this time was Silver in color, but it seemed much pure and dense.

"Minute Immunity!" She again called out, using her skill which she had saved for an emergency. It was a skill that only affected one of her warriors. It was something that increased the selected warrior’s strength by at least five times.

The effect of the skill lasted for only a minute, though. Moreover, this wasn’t all because there was a limitation on the skill.

Alice could only use this skill on a warrior that had sworn his allegiance to her and was ready to sacrifice his life for her. The other limitations were even worse.

It was that after the Effects of this skill were over, whoever it was used on died. So this skill was basically a self-sacrifice skill that provided a big boost.

The Second Spirit General felt the boost from the skill. Since he only had a minute remaining, he didn’t want to wait even a second.

These sixty seconds were all he had. In these sixty seconds, he had to kill all High Dukes if he wanted to give some hope to his side in this war. Even though he was about to die, he wanted his sacrifice to be worth something in the end.

The second Spirit General teleported to High Duke Magna right away as he smashed his foot on the ground.

Many thick trunks of a tree came out of the ground, advancing towards both the High Dukes to entrap them in its grasp.

"Futile Effort," High Duke Magna lazily said as he easily cut the branches and trunks.

"Not futile. It managed to distract you long enough," the Spirit General said as he punched out. This much time was enough for him to close in on the unaware High Dukes.

High Duke Magna reacted faster as he also punched out in time.

Both fists once again clashed with each other. High Duke Magna was the one who seemed to lose this clash against all odds.

He was forced back ten steps as he felt a pain in his knuckles.

"That was a strong attack. You’re most certainly stronger than the last guy you sent. Was this your real strength, or is it also borrowed strength as he had?" High Duke Magna asked, amused.

"It doesn’t matter what it is. All you need to know is that you will die!" the Spirit General said as he waved his hand lightly.

Tens of lack arrows appeared out of thin air, all of which advanced towards High Duke Magna.

High Duke Magna again called out his shields like he had done last time to protect himself from the arrow of Second Spirit General. Unfortunately, this time was different. This time, things didn’t go like last time.

The shield that had easily stopped the arrow last time was shattered to pieces like it was a toy as the arrows passed through like an unstoppable force.

The arrows all penetrated the body of the High Duke before they disappeared, leaving a hole behind.

....

While the High Dukes and the Spirit Emperor were fighting, Ryder was advancing towards the Princess, flying as fast as he could.

It didn’t take him long before he appeared behind Alice, who was surrounded by the silver barrier.

He brought the body of the Second Spirit General out while he used his latest skill to bring him back to life to shatter the barrier. Even though he was going to try to break the barrier himself, if it didn’t work, he needed more help.

While the Second Spirit General was coming back to life, Ryder called out his Moon Scythe as he swung it towards the barrier, intending to destroy it.

...

Back in the real world, Shu was sitting comfortably in his room, watching the fight live.

"It looks like it’s on the final stage—the final assault. The guy will win, I guess," Shu muttered as he watched Ryder appear behind the girl who was standing inside the barrier. It was obviously the last stage of the battle.

He seemed confused as to why the guy would bring out the corpse of a Spirit General, but his shock was much bigger as he saw the scythe.

He had previously been the guy in the battle using a scythe. It was also the weapon that was used to kill the Spirit General. But it was only now, when Shu’s mind clicked, he realized that this was the same scythe that he had seen Ryder use.

"He is Ryder? I’m so slow! I should have realized it long ago! He said he was busy forming the guild. So this was what he was busy with?"

"Wait. So one of the participants in the war is the top player in Divinity? Who is the other person? Someone from the top ten as well? I don’t understand the decision of Necrosis. Their top player is fighting, but they keep that a secret? Instead, they focus more on the war aspect? Why?’ he wondered.

"It could be because they don’t want to bring the focus away from their billion-dollar tournament? But this still doesn’t make sense. What do they think when they make these decisions?"

....

Ryder swung his Scythe, intending to shatter the barrier so he could kill the female player and finish the quest.

Tun!

The blade of the Moon Scythe hit the barrier, making a large metallic sound as if two hard metals clashed. Unfortunately, the barrier wasn’t affected.

Hearing the sound, Alice realized that someone was behind her.

She turned back to look only to find the enemy player standing behind her, outside the barrier. She still couldn’t see his face, though.

"Cheh, this barrier is indeed strong. I can’t break it," Ryder muttered as he rubbed his chin.

"But he should be able to," he let out as he noticed the body of the Second Spirit General standing up.

"In any case, this barrier won’t last long. A few minutes at best."

The Spirit General started punching the barrier, again and again, to break it with all his strength

Ryder could see cracks developing on the barrier slowly which were getting bigger. It was clear that the trick was working. Soon, it was going to be broken, and he could kill his enemy.
