Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 204 Night Visit

Chapter 204: Night Visit

"You said that you were talking about a Vampire, but no matter how much I think about it, he doesn't sound like a vampire at all. Anyway, you definitely need to do something that will make him thank you. The most effective way is to save his life somehow or be creative in other ways. That's the only thing I can say," The Dracula replied.
Ryder was about to say something when he heard a beeping sound.
"Hello, Hello?" Ryder let out, but he didn't get a response. He looked at the screen of the phone, and the call was disconnected.
"I don't have any balance left, but I think I get what he was trying to say. There is no way someone as powerful as him would just come to say thanks to me for no reason. I need to do something that would make him thank me. The problem still remains. What can I do? He's just too powerful. He wouldn't need me to save his life," Ryder muttered as he shook his head.
"He's definitely more powerful, and he can keep himself safe. Only a High Duke can face him. Should I tell a High Duke to disguise and attack him? No, that would be easily found out. Vampire King knows his strength, and he would know who else here is as strong as him. I can't use High Dukes. I'd need to think outside the box," Ryder muttered.
Just as he was thinking, he heard a knock on the door. He stepped out of the room and collected the pizza before he stepped inside the room.
He was walking back to his room when he heard another knock. He opened the door once again.
It was Alice this time. She stepped inside the house.
"You came at the right time. If you were just a little late, I would've eaten the pizza I ordered. Get changed fast, and we'll share it," Ryder told Alice as he stepped inside his room.
Alice nodded her head as she walked back to her room. She changed her dress and wore a comfy t-shirt and a blue skirt before she came out and entered Ryder's room.
They shared the pizza as Alice talked about how her day was. They talked while eating the cheese-filled pizza. After finishing it, Alice left his room and went back.
Ryder also laid down on the bed as he looked at the time.
"I'll enter Divinity right now. I need to set some things up," Ryder muttered as he picked up the Divinity Glasses.
He wore the glasses and muttered, "Take me to Divinity."
Ryder woke up in the Royal Room of his Palace. It was midnight in the world of Divinity when Ryder woke up there.
He got off the bed and opened the door as he stepped out.
Some maids were standing outside his room.
"Go and wake up, Miku. Tell her to come to my room," Ryder told the maids before he stepped inside the room.
He picked up a paper and a pen that was on the table as he started thinking about the best plan, but for that, he needed to know the weakness of the Vampire King.
Rale was the best person for that task, but it was impossible to wake him up at the moment. He was hoping that Miku would have some answers.
In the meantime, he continued looking at the blank paper.
"He should be flying, so I can't make a trap on the ground and save him from that. That's out the window. I need a trap in the air that would make things difficult for him. I need to be the hero of the story and his savior. We need something that can trouble the Vampire King," Ryder muttered as he wrote the word 'trouble' on the paper.
Soon, there was a knock on the door.
"If it's Miku, you can come inside. The for is open," Ryder said as he looked towards the door.
Miku opened the door and stepped inside. She looked somewhat hesitant. She was wearing a beautiful white nightgown. She was sleeping when she was informed that the Prince called for her. She didn't even change the dress as she ran here.
"Ah, You called me," She said in a low voice.
"Yeah, I need you right now," Ryder replied casually as he looked at her.
Miku clenched the corner of her clothes as her face turned red.
"Come, sit near me," Ryder told her.
Miku's face was as red as it could get. She was misunderstanding Ryder and thinking that he called her to take care of her at night.
She walked closer to him slowly and sat near him. Her shoulders touched Ryder's shoulders.
"Alright. Let's start," Ryder muttered as he looked at her.
Miku closed her eyes as she waited for him to do something, but Ryder didn't do anything. Instead, he asked a question.
"Do you know what the curse of the Vampire King is?" Ryder asked with a frown.
Miku abruptly opened her eyes as she looked at him.
"Y-you called me to ask me questions?" She asked.
"Yeah. The question is really important," Ryder replied. "Do you know what it is?"
Miku calmed down her head as she took a deep breath.
" Ah, yeah. I heard about it. It's like a myth about the Vampire King. It says that if the Vampire King crushes someone's heart with his hand, that person gets the curse of the Vampire King. That person not only dies, but even his Soul is destroyed," Miku replied.
'Even the soul is destroyed? That kind of makes sense. If my soul was destroyed in the game, then the healing wouldn't work, and Time Ruler was activated. So that's what Janus was talking about,' Ryder thought as he frowned.
"That's good to know. Do you know the weakness of the Vampire King?" Ryder asked her again.
"I don't know about that," Miku replied as she shook her head.
"Alright. Get Dale here. We're going out," Ryder told Miku as he stood up.
Miku also got up and left the room. She came back with Dale.
"Follow after me. We're going out," Ryder told Dale as soon as he came.
He started walking towards the exit.
"Your Highness, if we're leaving, we would need to bring more guards. It might be dangerous outside," Dale suggested.
"It's fine. I'm not going to any dangerous place," Ryder replied.
He left the Royal Palace and wore his Royal Crown before he started flying in a certain direction.
Dale and Miku also started following after him.
They were a little surprised as they saw Ryder stopping before the palace of High Duke Oris.
The guards that were guarding the Palace of High Duke Oris got down to the ground as they greeted Ryder.
"I need to meet the High Duke. Someone escort me to the meeting hall and call him there," Ryder told the guards.
"Ah, yes, Your Highness," the Head Guard told Ryder as he escorted Ryder and his team inside.
The other guards that were standing outside the palace started talking amongst themselves after Ryder entered inside.
"The Prince came here so late, and he looked worried. It must be a serious matter," one of the guards said.
"I think that there's going to be a war. He must've gotten some secret information. That can be the only urgent matter," Another guard replied.
Most of the guards agreed to that as they found that more believable.
"There's going to be another war after so long. I thought the peace would last for a little longer," One of the guards said.
Ryder was escorted inside the Great Hall, where the event had taken place in the morning of the previous timeline.
"Please wait here. I'll inform Master of your arrival," the guard said as he left Ryder inside the Great Hall.
Ryder walked to the throne in the Great Hall and sat on it.
"Your Highness, May I ask what the matter is? You were talking about the Vampire King. Is there a problem? Is the Demon Realm going to be under attack?" Miku asked Ryder.
"The Vampire King? It can't be! Did he find out about the..."
"Silence! I don't want to hear a single word about that from your mouth," Ryder scolded Dale and stopped him from finishing his sentence.
He had already decided that he wouldn't bring Dale anywhere where the Vampire King might arrive as that would be like bringing the witness of the murder before the Jury.
"You will understand everything soon. Don't speak a work in between my conversation with the High Duke," Ryder let out as he shook his head.
After some time, the door of the Great Hall was opened, and the High Duke entered the Hall.
"Greetings, Your Highness. What brought you here at this time of night?" High Duke Oris inquired.
He walked to Ryder and greeted him.
"Well, the matter is really important. By the way, since it's already over midnight, let me just wish you first," Ryder told the High Duke. "Happy Birthday."
"Thank you. So, what's the matter?" High Duke Oris inquired.
