Chapter 599: Challenge
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
At the commands of Ryder, High Duke Eston released the girl who was being kept hostage by them for a long time.
Previously Ryder did want his treasure while also wanting to punish her, but now that he had strength, he had forgotten about most of it. It was carefree about these minor things.
The lady appeared in front of everyone, looking tired as if she hadn’t slept in a long time.
"Go on. You’re free," Ryder told the girl casually. "But if you still want to attack me, this is your last chance. No one will interfere."
"This offer isn’t only valid for her only. You all have the same offer. If you want to try, you can too," he further said, looking at the Prince and the general. "You don’t have to be shy. The High Dukes won’t interfere.’
"Aren’t you being too arrogant?" The Death Prince asked, frowning. "You might have become the king, but you’re still young and weak. Don’t let position get to your head. I don’t know if I can defeat you or not, but my Generals certainly can. So don’t make the situation worse."
" As I said, it’s my offer. They can try if they really think they’re capable of that. I promise in my honor that no one will interfere, and we won’t hold you accountable no matter what happened. Even if I die, you won’t be blamed. That’s the promise of the Demon Realm," Ryder responded.
He really wanted to show off a little. That was why he gave such a good offer, but it didn’t seem like anyone was talking the bait.
"Is that true? So you all stand by those words?" Death Prince asked the other High Dukes.
The High Dukes looked at each other. Could they really question it now that Ryder had already given the challenge. If they didn’t stand by these words, Ryder would look weak. In any case, If things didn’t go as they wanted, they could always interfere and get the heck out of here.
"We stand by his statement. None of us will interfere," High Duke Magna was the first one to speak something. He didn’t seem worried about anything as he was already pleased at what was happening.
He had seen Ryder’s strength. He believed Ryder could take care of them easily. According to him, he was hiding his strength previously, and only now did he start to show.
"If that’s the case, then we would accept the offer. I hope the Demon Realm will keep their word. If something happened to your King, we wouldn’t be responsible," the Death Prince clarified one last time before he shifted his attention to the Death Generals.
He looked at the strongest of the Four. "General Mizi, why don’t you give it a try? Try not to kill the young king."
"I’ll try," the Death General said as he chuckled while stepping forward.
Another Death General stepped forward and picked up the girl who was still lying on the ground to get her inside the Palace so she could be treated.
The others also stepped backward to give enough space for the two to fight.
"Don’t mind if I start first!" The Death General said as his figure flickered. It seemed as if he had disappeared and appeared behind Ryder instantly. A sword appeared in his hand, which he trusted towards Ryder.
His sword stabbed Ryder. The eyes of High Dukes opened wide as they saw it happen. Ryder was actually stabbed? They were just about to move to help him when they all stopped as their mouths opened wide.
Even the General seemed stunned as he felt as if his sword had penetrated only air and not flesh.
"Not bad speed. But you’re still too slow," Ryder’s voice fell in the Generals and ears, coming from behind.
The figure of Ryder, which was standing before him, turned into smoke and disappeared. At the same time, a hand came from behind, grabbing him by the neck.
Ryder raised the Death General and smacked his body on the ground.
Ryder didn’t stop there as he raised the General’s body again while tossing him away.
"This is boring. All of you come together. Let me have some fun!" Ryder declared firmly. Just as he said that, the Death Generals became furious; they felt like they were being insulted. But they did listen to Ryder and attacked him.
....
"That was all? That was all the Death Generals had? Only this much strength? God, did we all overestimate them?" Ryder asked as he looked at the three unconscious Death Generals lying on his feet.
Standing behind him, the High Dukes were grinning from ear to ear as they saw what was happening. Ryder had actually defeated not one but all of them at once. His strength was actually so high.
"Worthy to be our King," High Duke Eston commented.
The Battle seemed to be one sided as everyone was defeated so easily.
Only the Death Prince was still standing as he hadn’t moved yet. He also couldn’t believe his eyes, but he knew it was the truth.
Ryder lazily stepped closer to the Death Prince, stopping a few steps away from him.
"As you can see, I can easily wipe this whole place alone. I could also have easily killed your Death Generals. But I didn’t. Because I don’t want to rule the Death Domain. I have no interest in it. So stop trying to attack our Demon Realm and end this hostility," Ryder said calmly.
"And I do know what you all were planning. So don’t even think about lying. I’m serious. If you ever attacked us, there won’t be a Death Domain anymore. Instead, you can choose the path of friendship and cooperation. I won’t force you for that either."
"Even if you don’t affect friendship, I won’t attack the Death Domain as long as you don’t attack us. So it’s your choice if you want to be neutral or if you want to be our friend and forget the enmity. That’s all I’m going to say for now!" Ryder said as he turned back and started leaving.
"Wait! I accept it!" The Death Prince said. "Let’s end it all and start anew."
"That’s better. I look forward to that," Ryder replied as he stopped before High Duke Magna.
The small group from Demon Realm disappeared, leaving behind a Prince and three unconscious Generals.
The fourth Death General returned after leaving the girl with the physician. "What happened here? I was only gone for a few minutes!"
"Few minutes was all it took," The Death Prince muttered. "Cancel all the plans to attack the Demon Realm. It’s better to forget the enmity and be their friends instead."
...
"That should deal with the problem of the Death Envoys. I’m sure you all can handle the rest. I’ll also take care of the intruders," Ryder said as he appeared in the Royal Palace.
Everyone in his presence nodded in full respect that they truly felt from their heart now.
Landing in the Demon Realm palace, Ryder didn’t stop there for long. Instead, he wrapped up everything and disappeared, going back to the real world.
...
As an hour-long cool down was already over, Ryder was able to return to the real world again.
He got back to the room and looked at the clock.
"There’s still quite some time until the flight," he muttered as he shook his head.
Clank!
A button was turned on, making the light turn on. Alice was standing behind Ryder.
"You’re up. Get ready. It’ll be the time to leave soon," Ryder told Alice, but only to stop as he noticed her looking at him strangely.
"What happened? Why are you looking at me like that?" He asked weirdly.
"Since when did you start cosplaying?" she asks Ryder.
"Cosplay? What the heck are you talking about?" Ryder asked, frowning. Soon, he understood what she was saying. His eyes opened wide as he smiled wryly.
He looked down to realize he was still wearing the Royal Clothes from Divinity.
"I was just trying to see how I would look in Royal Attire. Don’t take it seriously. I’m not a cosplayer. Go and get ready. I’ll get ready as well," he hastily said before he went back to the room to change your clothes, embarrassed that he forgot to change them before coming here.
Within the next hour, Alice and Ryder got ready after taking a shower before they departed.
The two of them went to the airport from where they took a flight straight to the New Capital in the States.
According to Janus, the next god-son was there as well. He still wasn’t told that the guy was none other than Ion. The two people Ryder wanted to kill were the same.
....
As Ryder was coming back, Ion was sitting in his office, watching his every movement.
"So he’s coming back. I guess I should prepare for a warm welcome. I wish I could have killed him in Divinity. But the preparations are still not complete. I need to hold on for a week more before they will be."
