Divinity: Against the Godly System

Chapter 275 - 271: Teleporting High Duke



"Help me contact High Duke Eston. It's time we get one step ahead and respond in kind," Ryder said to High Duke Mila as a subtle smirk formed on his face.

He had already planned something, and he was ready to follow that to the end. Something that was going to make the Death Domain regret getting involved in their matters.

"Alright. Let me do it," High Duke Mila said as she nodded her head.

She brought her mirror out of her Spatial Storage again and placed that in front of her.

Since they were inside that special barrier formed by High Duke Devilia, even if someone entered the Great Hall, they wouldn't be able to see anything inside. They would have only been able to see a dark barrier in place, hiding some area of the Great Hall in its shroud.

High Duke Mila established a link with her mirror. The link was to the similar mirror that was with High Duke Oris.

After a few minutes, the mirror of Mila started showing the visuals of High Duke  Oris.

High Duke Oris was standing in his garden, appreciating his flowers when he brought his mirror out of his spatial Realm. His daughter was standing with him.

"High Duke Oris," Ryder greeted Oris in a gentle tone as soon as the link was established.

" My Prince, Is everything alright? What made you contact me like this so urgently?" High Duke Oris inquired as he looked at Ryder.

"I need your help. How fast can you get to Devilia's Palace?" Ryder asked Oris.

"That? I can get there instantly. I do have a Teleportation Skill." High Duke Oris let out, shocking Ryder.

"What? You have a Teleportation Skill? You can come here instantly?" Ryder asked in shock.

"Yeah, I thought you knew it?" High Duke Oris let out as if he was surprised that Ryder didn't know about it.

"How was I supposed to know? I had no idea that you even had a Skill like this," Ryder smiled wryly as he replied.

"It's the Truth. High Duke Rale and High Duke Magna, both of them possess a skill like this. High Duke Eston and I are the ones that don't have the Teleportation Skills. He can be here in a second if he wishes," High Duke Mila nodded her head as she chimed in.

" That's good. That makes my plan even easier. Wait, don't Teleport here. I'll tell you a place where you need to Teleport. High Duke Mila, can you explain to him the coordinates of my assigned room in this Palace? I need him to Teleport there," Ryder asked Mila.

He wanted Oris to Teleport straight to the destination since he didn't want anyone else to know that he was here. His plan was to beat the Death Domain in their own game. They wanted to shock them, but he was going to give them an even greater shock.

" That's easy. High Duke Oris and I have been here before. In fact, he stayed in the same room that you're staying in now. He should have no difficulty teleporting there," Mila let out casually. 

"Are you talking about the room I stayed in during our last visit or the one before that?" High Duke Oris asked Mila as he heard her words.

"The one you stayed in the last time. You should have no difficulty staying there," She responded.

"Yeah, I can Teleport there, but first, is anyone going to tell me what's going on here? I need to know," High Duke Oris inquired.

"We have some information. The Death Domain is going to attack this Palace today. They have no idea that I know about this. Our plan is to beat them at their own game and crush them. Also, I wish to catch the Second Crown Candidate of the Death Domain. There's a spy here, though, and they can be anyone, so I can't let anyone know that you're here as well. You'll be our hidden weapon in this attack," Ryder said to High Duke Oris.

High Duke Oris was instantly furious as he heard Ryder.

"Those bastards! They dared to scheme of attacking us? Let me bring Magna with me as well. We should really show them what it means to mess with the Demon Realm. We will kill them all and go to the Death Domain Royal Palace and throw the Dead Bodies there!" High Duke Oris let out furiously.

He wanted to bring High Duke Magna with him as well and enter the Death Domain. 

"No, there's no need to bring him. Someone needs to stay in the capital as well. The Death Domain people are already in this city. We don't know if they're in the Royal City or not. Let him stay there. It'll be bad if something happens to that place, especially the Royal Palace," Ryder responded, shaking his head.

High Duke Oris seemed as if the understanding dawned on him about Ryder's logic.

"Ah, that's true. If the Royal Capital is attacked, we'll become a laughing stock of the world if none of us is here and the Royal Capital is destroyed," he let out, nodding his head.

"Yeah, so we only need you here. Now, let me tell you what's going to happen and how we need to react. If everything happens as per plan, we'll be in a really good position. Only 40 minutes are left if I'm not wrong. Please Teleport to the room and wait for me there. Devilia might return anytime. We need to stop talking," Ryder let out as he decided to stop the conversation with High Duke Oris. He decided to talk to High Duke Oris about the rest of the plan in the room when he was there.

High Duke Oris nodded his head as he agreed. The mirror stopped working.

High Duke Oris was back in his palace. As soon as the connection was disconnected, he looked back at his daughter.

"You heard everything, right? Don't tell anyone. I'll be leaving now. I should be back as soon as things are back to normal," High Duke Oris told his daughter as he placed his hand on her head.

His daughter nodded her head as she watched her father disappear into thin air.

High Duke Oris appeared in the room that was assigned to Ryder. He sat on the bed and started waiting for the game to begin.

****

After dealing with High Duke Oris, Ryder looked at Mila and told her to contact High Duke Eston as well.

"Wait, don't contact him," Ryder suddenly called out as he stopped High Duke Mila.

"What happened?" High Duke Mila looked at Ryder, who seemed like he had suddenly thought about something grave.

" How could I forget about this possibility! I'm an idiot!" Ryder exclaimed as he frowned.

"What possibility?" Mila asked Ryder.

" I thought that there were two major suspects that could be a Spy, but in reality, there are three major suspects," Ryder let out as his frown deepened. "How could I miss something so obvious."

"What are you talking about? I don't understand anything," Devilia asked Ryder as she frowned.

" The Vampire King! He knows about our plan! He might have been the one that did it! He was also in this palace when the attack happened. He might have left this Great Hall and helped them. This Black Skeleton King, the Death Domain, and the Vampire King. They might all just be a part of this scheme. I need to tell High Duke Eaton about the plan, but not when he's with the Vampire King," Ryder muttered as he looked down.

"Don't contact them. I have another plan. I'll tell him after he's here," Ryder muttered as he walked back and sat on the throne.

"Let me tell you the plan first," He glanced at High Duke Mila and Rale as he started telling them what they needed to do and how things might play out.

****

High Duke Mila dispersed the barrier that was surrounding her, Ryder, and Rale after the explanation was completed.

They all sat down comfortably on their seats with their eyes closed as they waited for the pieces to fall in their places.

After a few minutes, Devilia entered the Great Hall.

"I did it. The guards are on stand-by right before the Royal Palace," She told Ryder as she stepped closer.

"Good work. Have a seat now. We can only wait for High Duke Eston to get here," Ryder said as he pointed towards the nearby seat and gestured to Mila to sit down.

A few more minutes passed before High Duke Mila got a message that High Duke Eston was standing outside the great barrier surrounding the city.

"High Duke Mila, you and Devilia should go to escort them. Rale and I will stay behind," Ryder casually said to High Duke Mila.

"Alright," High Duke Mila and Devilia stood up and left the Palace.

Ryder and Rale were left behind in the Great Hall.
