Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 52 – Chapter 53: Mysterious Woman

After dealing with the guards, Ryder shifted his focus back to the vile woman that was still standing near him.

He stepped forth and like a true Demon Monarch, separated her head from her body with a single strike of his scythe.

‘Hmm? Do the female demons give less Experience or was she just a weak demon?’ He wondered.

He looked towards the Lord Demon and pointed towards the girl that was still tied by the ropes.

“My Lord, just look at the girl. She looks like she’s really regretting opposing our lord. The punishment seems to be working. Shall we continue?” Ryder asked.

“Who are you?” The Lord Demon asked straight.

“Who am I? I’m a nobody!” Ryder replied since he didn’t want to explain that he was a human.

“It’s not possible for you to be a nobody. You’re a high demon magician. Tell me what you’re doing here?” The Town Lord asked.

“High Demon Magician?” 

It was the first time he was hearing such a term, but it sounded pretty badass.

‘They must be the powerful demons,’ He thought.

“Yeah. Did someone from the higher up send you to me?” The Lord Demon asked.

“Oh? Do you think someone can send me here? I just came out on my own, to roam the land and watch the condition of our people. I must say I was quite surprised to see the situation of this town,” 

Ryder said with a proud look on his face. Although he could kill the Lord Demon, It was better to get some information from him if he could.

The Lord Demon came down through the stairs.

“I apologize for showing you something like this,” The Lord Demon apologized.

“It’s alright. I don’t mind it since I got to relieve some stress,” Ryder casually said.

“How about you stay with me for the day? Give me the chance to take care of a high demon. Also, you wanted the girl, didn’t you? You can also have her,” Lord Demon suggested.

‘He’s a High Demon Magician, so it’s impossible for me to defeat him. Even if I managed to defeat him, I’ll be in deep trouble if he turned out to be an heir of some big clan. But there’s also a possibility that he’s a banished High Demon. All I can do is delay him.’

‘A few days ago I received a message that Duke Devilia is coming here for some reason. She should be here today. She’ll handle him. If he is found out to be a banished one, I’ll just request her to kill him, otherwise, I can just stay as his friend. Both situations are beneficial for me,’ Lord Demon thought as he stepped closer to Ryder to greet him like a friend.

“Enraged Slash!” 

Just as the Lord Demon got close enough to Ryder, he swung his Scythe and separated the head of the Lord Demon from his body.

“I changed my mind. I want my Exp more. I can get my answers even from the girl,” Ryder said with a smile on his face.

“Nice. Gotta say, the level gained is way higher than what I would have got from fighting the monsters,” Ryder said with a pleased look on his face.

He turned back only to find the other demons running away.

Although some of them ran away, there were still many demons that had taken out their weapons. They looked like they were ready to fight Ryder.

“Oh well, Time to do justice to my name. Now you’ll see the wrath of Hades,” He smiled as he placed his scythe over his shoulders and started walking towards them like a grim reaper.

The fight continued and notifications kept echoing out one after another as Ryder killed the demons.

In less than 10 minutes, all the demons that remained there were dead. The ground was filled with their blood.

In one day, Ryder had managed to jump from level 5 to level 9.

He still had the Scythe in his hand as he walked closer to the girl that was tied by the ropes. Other than Ryder, she was the only one alive.

He swung his Scythe one last time as he cut the ropes.

The girl’s hands were released from the painful bindings as she fell to her knees.

“Are you alright?” Ryder asked.

“I’m fine. Are you really a High Demon though?” The girl asked as she struggled to stand up.

“What is a High Demon according to you?” Ryder asked since he actually didn’t know.

“A high demon? They’re the higher species of us demons. They are many high demon species and quite a few of those don’t even have horns,” She replied.

“Just like me. Yeah, you can consider me a high demon,” Ryder said.

What he didn’t know was that someone was coming towards him at the moment.

A woman was flying through the sky as fast as she could. She had 2 beautiful black wings behind her back that helped her fly.

As she got to the small town that was supposed to be her destination, she was greeted by a pool of blood.

With a frown, she came down to the ground and landed right behind Ryder.

The woman had no aura. She was just like a dead person moving silently. Ryder didn’t even realize as she landed behind him.

The girl on the other hand noticed the woman. Her eyes opened wide and she was about to scream, but the voice didn’t come out of her mouth.

“Hey boy,” The woman said to Ryder.

Ryder was surprised as he hurriedly turned back. He saw a woman standing in front of him.

He used <All-Seer> on her, but strangely, even the <All-Seer> wasn’t able to show her stats.

There was a question mark before all her stats.

He realized that the woman was too high up in the level. She was nothing like the Demon Lord.

The woman on the other hand was even more surprised. Her eyes were stuck at the Moon Scythe of Ryder.

“Where did you get that thing?” She said as she pointed towards the scythe in his hand.
