BXBX NOVEL Chapter 515 Shameless
Chapter 515: Shameless
"Your Highness, are we really not going to react to this? According to our sources, the Demon Realm is under attack by the Spirit Realm. Should we not take advantage of the situation?’
Back in the Death Domain, an old man was talking to the person sitting on the throne.
"There’s no need for that. The Spirit Realm was entirely destroyed in the war last time. I don’t think their remnants are very strong. At best, that can resist the Demon Realm army for a day. By the time we get there, the war would already be over," the young man on the throne replied as he sighed. "Well, only waste time."
"But they would at least be tired after a war. Isn’t that an opportunity?" the old man asked.
"You’re a Death General Here. You’re the most senior person here. Are you really asking that question? As I said, the Demon Realm won’t even use ten percent of their stamina to win the war. I know them all too well. Instead, it’s better that we wait and focus on our own plan," the Death Domain Prince answered as he sighed.
"If you say so," the Old Man nodded his head and didn’t mention it again.
"Anyway, how’s the investigation going? We heard that an entire neighborhood disappeared without any trace? Did you find out what happened?" the Prince asked.
"We do have some clues. Apparently it’s the work of Jiw. He’s the same guy we had arrested for a potential affair with our General’s wife," the Death General answered.
"Hmm? That guy?" the Prince asked, frowning.
"That’s right. We found traces of poison in food at his place. We also heard about him leaving the city that same day. We are almost certain it’s the work for him. We have started searching for him in the entire Death Domain," the Death General answered.
"Oh? Very interesting," the Prince muttered as he rubbed his chin, trying to make a sense of this situation.
"Wait a minute!’ Just as he was lazily thinking about this topic, he remembered something. He couldn’t help but stand up, shocked.
"What happened, Your Highness?" the Death General asked.
"How many people have disappeared? Give me the exact number now!" the Prince commanded.
"Exactly hundred people," the Death General answered.
"Hundred? That bastard! The Kingship Trial of Demon Realm! It’s most probably the work of that bastard! Not only did he kidnap someone from my Place last time, but he dared to come alone in the Death Domain and my Royal City? Not only that, but he even succeeded in killing and finishing his Trial!"
The Prince was seething in anger. He couldn’t believe that he was so slow.
"Should we try searching the Entire Death Domain for him?" The Death General asked the Prince.
That also happened to be the time when the door of the Royal Chamber opened as a lady stepped inside the place, followed behind by her guards.
"Lady Romi," the Prince exclaimed in surprise as he saw the lady.
"Young Prince, who are you trying to search for? Did something happen in your place? You lost someone?" the woman asked the Death Domain Prince.
"Lady Romi is the Princess of Dark Tribe in Death Domain. Your Tribe is the second strongest after ours. Of course, I won’t hide such things from you. Actually an enemy had most probably barged inside our Death Domain from the Demon Realm sometime ago."
"He is none other than the new Prince of Demon Realm. He also killed hundred of our Royal City citizens to finish his Kingship Trial," the Prince answered.
"Hmm? But I heard that Princes couldn’t take any help in the Kingship Trial? Also, how is it even possible for him to kill hundred Royal City citizens? He shouldn’t be strong enough. His personal strength is weak according to my knowledge," the woman asked.
"He didn’t kill using his strength. Instead, he used the despicable method of poisoning the food," the Prince answered.
He shifted his focus back to Death General after finishing his explanation.
"There’s no benefit of searching anymore. After finishing the Trial, he most probably already escaped. He’s already at the place of war now. We lost a good opportunity this time," he said as he sat on his throne, sighing.
The young woman was still lost in some thought, frowning.
She couldn’t help but remember what had happened to her at the pond when she was bathing.
She had used a barrier to prevent anyone from reaching the pond. The barrier was supposed to stop everyone from the Death Domain. But a person had managed to walk inside, unfazed.
That person had given a stupid excuse for why he was able to do that, but she never believed that. As for now, she understood the whole truth.
If the Prince of Demon Realm was here, he was easily able to pass through that barrier. There was a good chance that the man was none other than him.
’Didn’t this mean that the Demon Prince saw me... N-naked? That shameless Bastard! Poisoning enemies, watching young ladies bathe. He truly had no shame!’ she thought, frowning.
....
Achu!
Ryder couldn’t help but sneeze suddenly.
"Strange. First time sneezing in Divinity," he let out as he looked around.
He could see the entire place filled with bodies. Almost all the enemies were killed, with only a few of them taken as hostages.
Finally, the war was over as he saw the prompt congratulating him for succeeding. He had gained a lot from this. Not only did he get the rewards from the quest, but he had also leveled up astronomically.
Even though he hadn’t killed most of the enemies that he could, the ones he killed were enough to bring him up to a level of 500 already.
It was where he was given a prompt of class change, but he didn’t care.
He didn’t think much about the rewards. He could always go through them the next time he logged in. Instead, he approached High Duke Oris.
"High Duke Oris, can you leave me at the Royal Palace urgently? I have something urgent to do there. After that, you can come back here and take care of the rest," he said to the High Duke, who agreed right away.
He wanted to log out right away, but he had realized the problem. If he logged out here, when he logged in next time, he would appear here.
He would have to travel all the way back to the Royal City alone. The better option was to have High Duke Oris Teleport him back to the Royal Palace, where he could log out without any worries.
Since Ryder asked this, the High Duke didn’t ask too many questions. He agreed right away.
He took Ryder and Rale back to the Royal Palace before he left.
Ryder told Rale that he was going to sleep because he was tired.
After telling Rale, he logged out.
...
Ryder woke up in the real world and hastily took off the Divinity Glasses as he got off the bed and ran out of the room. He was already too late.
He just wanted to make sure if Alice had successfully logged out. If she was stuck in the game like he was last time, this was going to be a mess.
Without even bothering to knock, he barged inside her room, pushing the door open.
The first thing he did was see the bed to know if Alice was still there or not. A sigh of relief left his lips as he realized that she wasn’t there. That means she had left the game.
"That’s better," he said, smiling.
"Eek!’
Just as Ryder was about to leave, he heard a shocked squeal. Looking to his side, he noticed Alice standing there. She had just come out of the shower. Seeing Ryder had shocked her, making her let out that noise.
"At Least it’s not like last time. You’re wearing a towel. So I won’t be killed by you," Ryder replied as he smiled wryly.
"I was just checking up on you. Don’t mind me," he said as he stepped out of the room, not willing to make it more awkward for Alice.
He walked back to his room where he sat on the bed, finally calm.
"This thing scared me. I’m glad nothing happened to her," he said as he laid in the bed.
"Jan- I mean, little bro, can you hear me?" he called out to Janus.
"Yeah," Janus replied.
"Can you tell me the truth about everything? Just what exactly is Divinity? What are you trying to do with me? Why do you help me?" Ryder asked.
"Ask me a different question. I can’t answer that right now," Janus answered.
"I can’t say that I didn’t expect that reply. Fine. Next question. Is the time-reversal power of this bracelet going to weaken ever as the healing powers did?’ Ryder changed his question.
"No. Because the Lord of Time is already dead now, his element is unstable," Janus explained.
