Divinity: Against the Godly System

Chapter 35 - 35: Lucifer



"You're just pulling my leg at this point. You know that it's impossible." He thought in his mind.

He didn't want to speak and wake up the profound bear.

" Also, what the heck is wrong with the reward? Self Satisfaction? Seriously?"

" You're just increasing my difficulty unnecessarily. So now, I only have 5 hours to reach level 5, since I will be sleeping for 24 hours at that." 

He was having a headache now, but he didn't let out affect the target at hand.

He stepped forward with silent steps as he held a sword in his hand.

The bear was still sleeping as Ryder stood near the bear.

Ryder raised his sword in the air as he thrust it down. The sword penetrated the head of the Profound Bear, who abruptly opened his eyes and roared in pain as he took his last breath.

[+50 experience points]

The Profound Bear's roar was quite loud and attracted the attention of quite a lot of beasts.

Three more Profound Bears came running as they heard the pained cry of their partner.

"You bastards are here. It's good. I wanted to let you see the consequences of destroying my reputation. " A grin appeared on his face as he gazed at the Profound Bears.

He looked like a hungry man who had found a delicious meal.

The Profound Bears roared loudly as they started running towards Ryder.

"Enraged Slash!" Ryder said as he swung his sword with full strength.

His sword managed to strike the profound bear that was closest to him. The bear died instantly as it fell to the ground.

[+50 experience points]

He didn't stop there and attacked the next bear.

He used 2 more Enraged Slash and killed the remaining bears.

A smile appeared on his face as he heard the announcement.

"Hah, finally level 4. One more, and I'll be done. But I can't leave this place yet. I will take that with me. I can't stay unknown this time. I will make everyone know the name of Hades in the world of Divinity. Time to be the first." He muttered to himself as he saw his stats.

He used both his stat points on Speed as he prepared for the next part of his plan.

He walked even deeper into the beast valley as he tried to look for a cave.

Ryder had never seen that cave when he was in the novice village last time, but he had heard it in an announcement.

There was unique equipment hidden within the beast valley, and only the ones who weren't level 5 yet could get to it.

Three years ago, When Ryder was still a level 4 player in the novice village, he had heard the announcement.

[First unique Equipment has been discovered in the world of Divinity. The Equipment Ranking is unlocked.]

Ryder had checked his notification panel and saw a Ranking Section there.

[Rank  Equipment    Grade Owner

 1).   Moon Scythe  Unique Lucifer]

That was the first time someone had heard of a player named Lucifer. The name that would go on to become the most well-known name in the world of Divinity. 

Since the Scythe was discovered by Lucifer, the developers did disclose the mystery behind the scythe. The others tried to do the same, but just as people had expected, only the first person to achieve that feat was able to get that scythe.

He was awed by Lucifer and waited to be someone like him. He had the opportunity to meet Lucifer once, but their first meeting didn't go as planned. It ended with Ryder being killed by Lucifer. He was able to log in after 24 hours, but he did lose a level. From that day, he hated Lucifer.

That's why Ryder wanted to take the first rank. He not only wanted the fame but his revenge as well.

Ryder wanted to find the cave where Lucifer had found that Scythe, but he didn't know the exact location.

The only thing he knew was that it was in the depths of the beast valley.

As Ryder was roaming through the Beast Valley, he did manage to earn 100 experience points from the beasts that appeared in his path.

After looking around the valley for another hour, he did find a cave. He didn't know if it was the real cave, but it was the only one he found.

He prayed that it was the one as he entered the cave.

Till now, he had done everything. All the preparation was for this moment alone.

Even the magic he learned was for this one thing. Just so that he could be prepared for what he was to face.

Ryder stepped inside the cave.

The cave was quite dark, but Ryder was able to see a little. 

Ryder stepped inside the cave.

As he entered the cave, he felt like vomiting. The stinky smell was simply unbearable.

"I have never regretted not having my Senses Controlling skill, as much as I do at this moment. This place is simply hell."

He controlled himself as he stepped inside. He had his sword in his hand while his other hand was empty, ready to cast the Flame Blast spell at any moment.
