Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 579 Meeting the Vampire King

Chapter 579: Meeting the Vampire King

"Vampire King had a kid? What happened then? Why is it only a rumor at this point?' Ryder asked Rale, confused.
"Because no one has any other information regarding that. Who knows, it might as well be a rumor. We can not confirm it. And we can't just ask them either," Rale explained.
' A vampire that lost his kid. Isn't Miyali someone whose father is a Vampire too? So what if others can't confirm it. I'll talk to him myself,' Ryder thought, deciding that he needed to check. If his luck was right, maybe Miyali will get her father.
And if she gets her father, it was good for him too since Vampire King will support him even more in that case after her influence. He could safeguard the Demon Realm for whatever the future held.
He believed that the future was going to be Chaotic since Ion was definitely trying something. He needed to be prepared and keep everyone ready, so they could be safe even if he weren't here. It was a real world, after all.
"Rale, I want you to send the notice to the ones I told you about yesterday. Tell them that even though they killed the enemies, there are more who are after the same goal. This time these are the people we don't know the face of. So tell them to be careful," Ryder told Rale.
"You handle this. I'll go to High Duke Magna. After I come back, we're going on a trip to the Undead Region; stay prepared," He further said before he started leaving.
Rale got back to work and didn't chase after Ryder since he needed to finish up before it was the time to leave.
Leaving the Palace, Ryder started flying to the Palace of the High Duke Magna.
He had been to the Palace of High Duke Oris many times, but this was his first time going to High Duke Magna's Palace.
Ryder landed at the entrance of High Duke Magna's place. As soon as he landed, he was greeted by a welcome which he had become accustomed to.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" All the guards said in unison as they went down to their knees.
"Take me to High Duke Magna. I have business with him," Ryder told the guards who stood up.
They took Ryder inside the Palace and stopped just at the entrance of High Duke Magna's study. He was inside the room.
The guard knocked on the door as he told Magna about Ryder's arrival.
"Send him in," High Duke Magna replied in an emotionless voice.
The gate was opened, and Ryder stepped inside.
As Ryder entered the chamber, he was surprised. He could see shelves filled with books everywhere. It seems to be a library.
High Duke Magna was sitting in a chair with the book in his hand.
"Your Majesty, what brought you here?" Magna asked Ryder.
"I'm here to take you. I'm going to the Undead Region to have a meeting with Vampire King, and you're coming with me," Ryder told the High Duke directly.
"Huh? You're actually here to take me? Don't you always take Oris with you?" Magna asked, curious. "What brought this change this time? May I ask what this meeting is about?"
"I can't tell you that. Just know that I need you because you can take me there faster with your teleportation. I'll wait for you in my Palace. Be there in half an hour," Ryder told High Duke Magna before he started leaving without even getting a response.
Ryder left the Palace and went straight to High Duke Oris, who also seemed surprised to see him.
"High Duke Oris, I'm going to the Undead Region," Ryder told High Duke. "And I want you to stay here and keep Miyali safe."
"You want me to keep that hybrid safe? Why?" High Duke Oris inquired.
"Hybrid?"
Ryder was taken aback as he heard High Duke Oris? This guy knew the Truth?
"You knew that she was a hybrid?" Ryder asked, surprised.
"Was it supposed to be a surprise? We all knew it the moment we saw her," High Duke Oris said.
"Then why didn't you say anything before?" Ryder asked. "I thought you all didn't know."
"Why would we have said anything? She was with you, so she couldn't have been evil. Moreover, she was also our citizen since she's a half demon too. So no files were violated," High Duke Oris explained.
"Anyway, you didn't tell me. Why do you want me to keep her safe?" He further asked. "And who will go with you if I stay here?"
"I'm taking High Duke Magna with me. That's why I need you to keep her safe. Only you can do something like keeping her safe since you have the patience, unlike High Duke Magna," Ryder explained.
"That still didn't explain why I need to keep her safe?" High Duke Oris asked again.
"Some people want her dead. There was already an infiltration yesterday, which I stopped. I believe there will be one more. I need you to stay in the shadows and kill whoever comes to kill her. That person is already in the Empire, I believe," Ryder told High Duke Oris.
Hearing that, High Duke Oris stood up, frowning. "Someone infiltrated our Empire? I'll take care of it."
"That's what I expected from you. I'm leaving you here because I have faith in you. I'm sure you'll handle it. Also, when I come back, I'll possibly bring good news. That's all. I'm leaving in half an hour. You can tell other High Dukes about this later or keep it a secret that I'm not here. I leave that to you," Ryder said as he turned back and started leaving.
....
Ryder entered his Palace again, where he found Rale prepared to leave.
"Are you done?" He asked Rale.
"I handled everything. I have sent updated messages to everyone to be careful. They'll be able to handle it from here on," Rale replied, nodding.
"That's good. I didn't send any message to the Vampire King since we're personally going there anyway," he continued.
"That's right. I'll tell him personally," Ryder agreed.
It didn't take long before High Duke Magna also came, right on time.
"Is everyone ready?" Magna asked in a hurry to leave.
Ryder nodded as he reached out his hand.."We're ready. Let's go."
High Duke Magna grabbed Ryder's hand. He also caught the hand of Rale before he disappeared.
...
The Palace of the Vampire King existed on the peak of the highest mountain in the Undead Region. The mountain seemed to be covered in Dark Clouds always, not letting even a single ray of sun pass through.
The Vampire King only had one relative left, who was his niece. She was the daughter of the General who was killed by Ryder.
Before her father was killed, she lived in a separate Place while the Vampire King lived alone in the Royal Palace with only his servants. But now, the Vampire King brought her to his own Palace to keep her safe, which was especially crucial now that there were people after her life.
At the moment, the Vampire King was sitting on his throne, alone. He seemed to be lost in thought. It had been so long, but he hadn't been able to find what happened to his General. That had been his biggest failure.
He didn't know that the ones who killed them were coming to him themselves.
Just as he was losing himself in darkness, he felt a powerful aura.
"Someone strong is here. Enemies?" Frowning, he stood up as he flew outside the Palace.
As he stepped out of the Palace, he was surprised to see who it actually was.
"What are you guys doing here?" He asked Ryder and Magna.
"I wanted to talk to you personally. Aren't we invited inside?" Ryder asked, smiling as if he was meeting an old friend.
"Fine. Come inside," the Vampire King said as he rolled his eyes. He gently flicked his hand, making the entrance doors open. He also landed before Ryder.
"I also wanted to thank you for informing me about people that were after my niece," He further said to Ryder. "Anyway, follow after me."
"That's what we're partially here for. Actually, I have more information. I heard there are still some people after her. And this time, I don't know their faces. So you still need to keep her safe," Ryder informed the Vampire King.
"Don't worry about her. I took adequate security measures. No one can hurt her. But you said that's only the partial reason? What's the other reason?" The Vampire King asked, frowning.
"The second reason is the more important one. But I'll tell you later. First, find a place to sit," Ryder said, dropping the topic for the moment. He couldn't just ask him about his kid directly.
The Vampire King took him to his throne room, where all of them took seats.
"Now we're all sitting. Tell me now," the Vampire King said.
