Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 225

Ryder picked up the keys, inserted them in the keyhole, and swung them to unlock the door, but the door didn't open up.
"Strange. That's what I heard unlocked it last time. Could it be that something else had to be done too which the person who opened the door hid from others? Or is it that I made a mistake by destroying the statues before they were activated and started attacking?" Ryder frowned as he looked at the door that wasn't unlocked. No matter what he tried, he wasn't able to push it to open.
"Is there a problem with the door?" Rale asked Ryder as he saw him frowning.
"Yeah, it's not opening from the keys," Ryder muttered as he shook his head.
He started looking around the broken pieces of the statue to see if there was something hidden there which he had missed accidentally.
*Thump*
Suddenly, Ryder heard a loud sound. He turned back only to find that the door wasn't obstructing their path anymore. It was open. It was better to say that the door was smashed to pieces, and the obstruction was removed from its roots by using fill strength.
"Problem solved," Rale said as he gave a cheeky smile.
"Well, that was an option as well, I guess. You're definitely too strong for a low difficulty dungeon," Ryder chuckled as he stood up and started walking ahead and entered a big room.
There was no door in the room, though.
"Don't do anything. Whatever little bit of experience it may be, I still need it. Let me handle the problems now," Ryder told Rale as he took a step forward.
As soon as he took a step forward, he got a notification from the game.
"As expected, it's the Dark Wolves that will come here this time. I already know all there is to know about it. Here comes the first one," Ryder said as he smiled.
"Flame Blast!"
He raised his hand above his hand and used a spell.
A giant ball of fierce flames appeared above his hand that shot up towards the roof.

Ryder didn't even look up as he heard a big pained scream.
"One down, five more to go," Ryder muttered as he shook his head.
He looked behind and pointed his hand towards Rale.
Rale could already feel a Dark Wing Wolf appearing behind him, but he didn't move as he was confident that he wouldn't be harmed, and he didn't want to disturb Ryder's aim.
Ryder shot out a fireball that passed my Rale. It missed Rale by just a few inches as it hit the Dark Wing Wolf that was behind him. If his aim was a little off, then he could have got Rale accidentally, but even that wouldn't be harmful to Rale as Ryder's strength and the level was too weak even to injure him.
Ryder could only injure Rale if he used the Moon Scythe, but even that wouldn't be life-threatening because of the level difference.
"Rale, close your eyes," Ryder said to Rale. Rale complied as he closed his eyes.
Ryder was looking at Rale, and just when he saw Rale close his eyes, he pointed his palm towards the ground.
"Sandstorm!" Ryder cast another spell. A sandstorm appeared in the room and covered the whole room, which smashed everything in the rook to pieces. Rale was too strong, so he wasn't affected as Ryder had expected. Ryder was at the core of the sandstorm, so he wasn't affected either.
Ultimately, the sandstorm stopped. The entire floor of the room was covered now.
"They're all dead. The entrance of the next portion should be opening soon," Ryder muttered as he started walking ahead.
Ryder and Rale reached the front wall and a door shaped opening opened in the wall.
They stepped into another long hallway that had lamps on both sides of the hallway that brightened up the path.
Ryder and Rale walked to the end of the hallway and saw a wall that was blocking their path.
Rale was about to smash through the wall too, but Ryder stopped him.
"Don't do anything. This place should be near the core of the dungeon. If you break it, the dungeon might fall down," Ryder said as he stopped Take.

"This wall won't affect the dungeon. I can see that it's not the support. We can break it," Rale replied as he shook his head.
"There's no need to take the risk, though. What I'm here to get is really important. Also, it's not difficult to pass through this wall. I know how to do it," Ryder said to Rale as he stepped closer to the wall. He placed his palm on the wall.
As soon as his palm touched the wall, some words appeared on the wall.
Ryder read the words on the wall, which seemed to be a question.
"The King's weapon was broken, yet he won. The sword was broken, yet he slashed. The Shield was broken, yet he defended. How?"
"Easy, he slaughtered the Enemies with his pure strength like His Majesty would do," Rale said to Ryder.
"That's what strong kings from our kingdom will do. This question is related to this kingdom, and I have three chances to answer since I activated the question. Fortunately, I remember the answer," Ryder muttered as he shook his head.
"The king's commander defended the King in that battle until their army won," Ryder answered the questions.
"Correct." The words on the wall changed.
Another question appeared on the wall.
"The gods that bless the kingdom are called the Dilo and Milakna, what are they known for," The second question asked.
'This dungeon is the dungeon that is related to the kingdom. It's not supposed to be a dungeon but the tomb of the first king. His inheritance is inside this tomb, and that's why the questions are related to the kingdom. The person that opened it last time had inquired around and knew some things about this kingdom. That's why he was able to open the entrance here as well. This is going to be quite easy,' Ryder thought as he smirked.
He answered the question correctly again. Another question appeared, and then questions kept appearing until Ryder had finished all the questions. He had responded to all questions correctly.
He was only allowed to say wrong answers three times before he failed. The person that had opened the tomb last time was wrong twice, but Ryder knew the answers, so he got them all right.
"That's better," Ryder muttered as he nodded his head.
' This can help me with the Princess. As long as the Royals don't despise me, I can still try,' Ryder thought as he saw the possibility of completing the quest of Janus.
He removed his hand from the wall. Another opening appeared on the wall that allowed them to pass through, but as soon as they passed through the wall, they saw tens of giant bulls running towards then.
Ryder twisted his body as he swung his Scythe in a horizontal motion.
"Enraged Slash!" Ryder let out as he used his skill.
A horizontal arc of light left the sword and passed through the room. The arc of light moved forward. Its edges were leaving deep groves behind on the walls of the room.
...
Ryder started getting the notification as the arc of light cut through all ten of the giant bulls. He also got the notification of ten percent Absorption ability activating simultaneously. He had gained the strength stat from only one bull. The other bulls gave him intelligence and dexterity only.
"If this absorption weren't random, it would be so amazing to get strength stat only," Ryder muttered as he sighed.
"At Least I got something, so it's not too bad," He let out as he shook his head
"Let's continue," he said to Rale as he started walking ahead.
Ryder passed through even more traps and faced even more dangers, but this dungeon was pretty easy for someone like him that had a high level. He easily passed through all the obstructions and gained experience along the way.
After two hours, Ryder reached the end of the dungeon.
He was standing in a giant room that was the final room.

Agros de Mortis
Are things ever so crystal clear in life, those of us with experience know that it can be considered a blessing to have such a straight forward path in life. Sometimes things go right, sometimes something occurs that was simply never imagined. Sometimes life seems to flow so quickly but sometimes it just seems stuck, cursed to repeat itself. Cycles upon cycles we see around us, but perhaps in only a moment things change. Can this be stopped or do we even want it to be stopped? Are things always as evil as they seem, or are they so similar that we find it painful. Come visit this little spot and decide for yourself what you interpret this is... _________________________________________________ This fiction is a mix of many things and for simplicity sake is the story of one man's rise to power in a fashion fit be called a demon lord. Ever read all those novels where you get a here is this bad guy we called you here to go deal with by the power of our god so here is some magic and training go kill em. Here is the other side's view of their rise to power in a fashion that perhaps seems evil, perhaps not. Is our MC truly that evil or is he simply following what he feels like is best for him, who is to say that he is truly a blight aganist the gods for surely it is not so simple in life. This will have some elements of dungeon building but it takes mostly a back seat to things as a background thing, a weak to strong theme well yeah but it won't really be personal power since we are doing what is essentially nation building. Don't worry there will be no romance as a main theme, if you find any it is unintentional or simply a very minor element overall, hopefully won't be any of the social/relationship gender issues from last time for those that read my first ficiton since that really is not what I want the story to be about. Progress in story is a bit of a mix of fast and slow I felt overall for the story, time skips were short and things piled up quickly then calmed down before building up again. Not sure how I did with characterizing and writing some concepts but at least I wanted people to think a little. Some attempt to keep things realistic to a degree considering you know magic since I wanted a bit more depth to things. Come check out the story and decide for yourself how you feel about some things.
