Chapter 597 - 593: Going All Out
Ryder pushed the door open and stepped inside to find him greeted by tens of men that had fired without stopping.
The camera had recorded him getting here, which brought great attention to him.
In the footage, Ryder could be seen killing their men. What they actually found shocking was that their men weren't attacking him in the footage. They didn't know that they couldn't even see Ryder at that time.
Unfortunately, they were in for a rude awakening. No matter how many bullets they fired, none of them hit Ryder as a water barrier appeared before Ryder, swallowing all the bullets that were fired towards him.
At the same time, he brought out a bazooka that he had received as a gift from the system.
He aimed the bazooka at the man before firing.
A small opening was made in the barrier, which allowed the missile to pass through.
The mouths of everyone opened in shock as they saw what actually happened. They wanted to dodge, but they just didn't have enough time.
The attack landed, blowing everyone. Even the mansion was damaged, but none of it affected Ryder, who was protected from the fire by his water barrier.
As the fire died down, Ryder kept the bazooka back.
"I always wanted to try it. It's just as fun as I expected. Not bad," he said as he smiled.
He gently waved his hand, letting him see through. The path ahead seemed empty, but he was hoping that this explosion was going to attract Draco. In any case, he wasn't going to be subtle about it today since he wasn't killing a Prince.
As for the water barrier, he found it extremely useful. Previously he had the Ruler of Water Skill which allowed him to make objects from water and even control it, but he didn't just make water appear out of thin air.
But after his last absorption, he gained full control of water. Now he could bring water out of thin air, even if none existed in his surroundings. It was similar to how he could bring out the fire after absorbing the strength of Aluren.
Surprisingly this amount of destruction also didn't bring Draco out.
"Draco! Where the heck are you hiding?" Ryder asked, yelling out loud, but he got no response.
He did hear what seemed like many footsteps coming towards him. The other guards came downstairs, running towards him, but he didn't seem to be in a mood to entertain them.
He waved his hand again, making a sphere of water appear. The spear of water started firing bullets at the men that were coming towards Ryder as if it was a bullet gun.
As it was an attack from the Divine Water, it was capable of even killing the Kings of Aluren if they were here, let alone the men who were running towards him.
Ryder killed each of the men that approached him, except one person who was lying on his knees, shaking.
The man even seemed to have wet his pants in fear as he failed to understand what was happening. It seemed like a magician had come here to annihilate them all.
He even wondered if Ryder was a government experiment that was sent here to annihilate their clan.
He had already assumed that he was dead today as he found the others being shot one after another. The entire floor was covered in blood, but he still survived.
Strangely, no bullet came to him. He wondered why he wasn't killed. Was he going to survive? He couldn't help but dream.
Ryder waved his hand again, making the spear of water disappear. He started walking towards the man who was sitting on his knees. He didn't get too close though. He could already see the man had wet himself.
" Where is Draco?' Ryder asked the man.
"Patriarch?" The man asked, stunned.
"That's right. Take me to him since he doesn't seem to be brave enough to come to me," Ryder said.
"May I ask who you are? And why are you looking for me?"
As Ryder was asking the man about Draco, a powerful voice came from the distance.
Ryder looked up to find a long dark-haired man coming down the stairs. The man seemed to have long black hair that came down to his elbows. He also had beautiful red eyes, as if he was a vampire.
Moreover, the man was very tall. He was even taller than Ryder and not by a small amount. Draco was at least seven feet tall, but he wasn't bulky
"Draco Liang, son of God of War. I guess I should be pleased that I finally get to meet you," Ryder said, smirking.
"You know a lot about me, I guess. Who are you?" Draco asked, frowning.
"I wonder why everyone asks me the same question. What does it matter who I am? All you need to know is that I'm here to kill you," Ryder said, laughing.
"Is that so? Interesting. Your aura is pretty interesting, I must say. I can feel the aura of at least five of us inside you. I really can't underestimate you, can I?" Draco asked, signing.
"Fine. If that's what it takes to get some peace in the house, then I might as well," he said, frowning.
He removed his red robe and tossed it to the side. His eyes also started shining, becoming an even darker shade of red. His skin also started changing as it became harder. His muscles began bulging as his height increased even more.
"Semi-god form of the Son of God of War. Someone who is proficient in strength, defense, and even battle tactics. Unfortunately, none of that will come into play here," Ryder muttered as he saw Draco transform.
Within a few seconds, Draco was done. He has changed so much that Ryder couldn't even find any form of similarities.
Draco was tall before, but he was even taller. He was around thirteen feet tall now. As for his muscles, they were bulged so much that just the wrist of Draco was as thick as Ryder's head in size.
Moreover, two more arms had appeared, making it so that Draco had four arms now, two on each side. He looked like a red-skinned giant.
As Draco finished transformation, he jumped towards Ryder, trying to smash him in a single attack.
Ryder saw Draco coming towards him, but he didn't seem intimidated. He instead waved his hand, making a sphere of water appear again, which was so big that it swallowed Draco whole.
Moreover, when Ryder used the water, it was even stronger than when Suliven had used it.
The water swallowed Draco, stopping his momentum, not letting him move. But even that wasn't enough to stop Draco entirely.
Draco used all his arms to clap with as much strength as he could pour inside. That seemed to work the trick, destroying the sphere of water, letting him be free.
Draco landed right in front of Ryder, but he didn't give Ryder the opportunity to attack. Clenching his fist, he collected his divine aura to attack.
His right fist started shining as he punched Ryder. Even the winds became chaotic as Draco attacked with something that seemed to have the capabilities of even destroying the mountain.
Draco expected his punch to blow Ryder to smithereens.
Ryder was also surprised at how powerful this attack was for Draco.
'This attack is too strong. I doubt I would have been able to stop it even if I had the strength of two god-sons. But that doesn't matter. I have the strength of five of them. Even this can't stop me,' Ryder thought, smirking.
He was way stronger now. He casually moved his hand and caught the shining fist of Draco that didn't even manage to move him an inch.
Stunned, Draco's eyes opened wide as he saw what had happened. How could someone have more strength than him? He was the son of God of War! This didn't make sense.
"This doesn't make sense, does it?" Ryder asked Draco, who seemed like he was having a hard time believing reality.
"W-who..." He asked in his heavy voice, again asking who Ryder was.
"Well, isn't it good? You will have a lot of time to think about it on the way to hell," Ryder replied as he moved his right hand. His bracelet changed to a short sword, appearing in his hand.
The sword sliced through the neck of Draco as if slicing through butter. Draco couldn't believe that he was killed. That too by someone he didn't even know. He could at least be at peace if he knew who actually killed him.
Everything had happened so fast that he didn't even get time to inform his father using the communication stone.
He was actually sitting in his room that isolated all sound. He had only just come out when he heard the sound of screaming, making him decide to check out. He was now regretting that choice as he died.
