Divinity: Against the Godly System

"I know how to pass the lake, but that would take longer. We need to use that floating stone. We can't swim in this water as it's impossible, and solving this trap will take a long time. Let's just fly to the boss. Carry me," Ryder commanded Rale as he reached out his hand.

Rale caught Ryder's hand and flew across the lake. He landed on the ground on the other side of the lake.

As soon as Ryder landed on his foot on the ground, the boss of this dungeon opened its eyes.

<Raksas King has woken up>

"I can see that," Ryder muttered as he shook his head. 

He saw the boss of the floor open his eyes as he looked at Rale.

The boss of this floor was a level fifty monster that had a humanoid body, which was around ten meters tall. The Raksas King had four arms. Each of his arms was holding a different thing. One of his arms had a shield while his second arm had a sword. His third arm had an ax, whereas his fourth arm had a spear.

"He's quite a low level being compared to me, so the fight shouldn't drag out for long, but he's a boss monster, so I can't take him lightly. I don't want to have to take Rale's help and lose all the potential exp.

The boss monster's eyes changed color and turned grey.

<Raksas King has activated the Vision of Raksas. For the next twenty minutes, your defense will decrease by ten percent. Your dexterity will increase by five percent>

"Whatever. I don't meet defense to deal with you. My speed is enough," Ryder muttered as he shook his head. "It should end shortly."

"Transform!" Ryder muttered as he transformed his Scythe into the form of a sword.

Ryder held the sword as he ran towards the Four-Armed Raksas King.

The Raksas King used his ax to attack Ryder. Ryder lowered his head as he dodged the attack and passed through the Raksas King. He got behind the Raksas King and stabbed the back of the Raksas King's thighs with all his might.

<You have landed a critical hit>

<The damage received by the Raksas King has been doubled due to the critical hit>

<The Raksas King is heavily wounded>

Ryder stepped back as he saw the HP of the Raksas King reaching zero. He knew the weak point of the Raksas King, which was only exposed for the first few seconds of the fight, and he utilized it. 

Ryder was already might stronger in level compared to the Raksas King, and with the critical hit, the damage was doubled, which was enough to clear all of the Raksas King's HP, but just before it could hit zero, the HP bar of the Raksas King started filling up as it turned red. 

<Warning: The Raksas King is entering the Rage Mode. His strength is increased by ten percent>

<The Effect of Vision of Raksas has disappeared because of the rage of the Raksas King>

The HP of the Raksas King was full again, and its eyes were red.

"Here comes the rage mode. If I give him a chance, then he will call out the level 40 stone guardians. I would have dragged the fight out if the stone guardians gave experience, but they don't give any exp. It will just be useless for now. It's better to finish it fast and get the exp of Raksas King," Ryder let out as he moved like the wind towards the Raksas King.

The Raksas King attacked Ryder as he threw the spear in his fourth hand towards Ryder's chest.

Ryder jumped ahead as he saw the Spear coming towards him. His left foot landed on the spear, but he used the momentum as he jumped again.

He was so high that it seemed as if he was flying as he passed above the Raksas King's head.

Just as he passed above the Raksas King's head, he pointed his palm towards the head of Raksas King and used his skill.

"Shadow Ball!" he let out as a dark ball of shadow appeared, which hit the head of the Raksas King.

The Raksas King's HP started sinking like a stone, but Ryder didn't stop as he landed before the Raksas King and used another skill.

"Enraged Slash!" Ryder thundered as he swung his Moon Sword towards the Raksas King's head.

The sword slashed through the neck of the Raksas King, which acted like the last mail nail in the coffin. The Raksas King fell to the ground and dropped a few items.

<Received the Sword of the Raksas King>

<Grade: Silver>

<Durability: 40>

<Minimum Level to equip: Level 40>

<Received the Shield of the Raksas King>

<Grade: Silver>

<Durability: 40>

<Minimum Level to equip: Level 40>

<Received key of the chest box>

"The items are not bad. Shu might find them useful if he has reached level forty, but it is too soon for him. He will be nowhere near level 40," Ryder muttered as he shook his head. He kept the dropped items in his storage.

He walked to the treasure chest at the front and unlocked it using the key he had just received.

As the treasure chest opened, Ryder saw the item he was looking for. 

<Ring of Disguise Discovered>

Ryder went through the description of the ring to find out all the details about it, including the things that probably weren't public before.

It was the golden ring that was called the Ring of Disguise. It was a golden ring that had two uses. One of its uses was as an ornament that increased charm and decreased hostility.

The second advantage of this ring was that it helped the player face in the game to any face he liked as long as that face was not a face of another player that was in the top 100 in the level rankings.

"As I expected. This is perfect for me," Ryder muttered as he wore the ring.

<Ring if Disguise equipped>

<Charm of the player has increased>

" Rale, I want to test something. Tell me if my face changes," Ryder told Rale as he activated the ring and changed his face.

He made his face more oval and his hair longer. His eyes were still the same color, but his nose was sharper. Ryder still looked good, but not as good as he generally looked.

"It worked. If It were not for your aura, I wouldn't have recognized you at all. Is that a magical item of this realm?" Rale asked Ryder with an amazed expression.

"Yeah, it's called the Ring of Disguise. It's an item that can help me change my face. But you are right. The Dukes and the High Duke's can still recognize me from my aura. Anyway, I only need it for when I'm in the human world. Now that I got what I wanted, let's leave," Ryder said to Rale as he started leaving.

Rale nodded his head as he followed after Ryder. They left the Dungeon and continued on their way back as Rale carried Ryder.

"There they are. They got down the cliff, but still too late. Rale, stop here. I want to meet someone in that crowd personally," Ryder told Rale as he asked him to get down.

Rale landed on the ground with Ryder.

Ryder started walking towards the group of players that were coming towards the dungeon.

Max was the person that was the vice leader of the team that Ryder led to subdue the dragon and finish the quest, but he lied to Ryder, which resulted in Ryder failing that quest.

He was not as angry at failing the quest as he was about being lied to, which made him really angry at Ryder.

After walking for a little while, Ryder met up with Max and the other players that were coming in his direction.

"Well, Max, It's good to see you again after so long, old friend," Ryder muttered in a tone that seemed on the edge of upset and angry as he stared at Max.

"Who are you? I don't recognize you," Max said to Ryder with a questioning gaze.

" It's not bad to forget your old friend, man, but then again, if you were willing to betray me, then I don't think I was ever your friend," Ryder responded as he smiled. 

He was using a disguised face, which was different from his original face because of the Ring of Disguise.

" Whatever. It doesn't matter since you're about to die soon," Ryder let out as he shook his head.

"Who the fuck are you? Do you really think you're some bigshot? A freaking player that is roaming with a single person thinks he can threaten me? Guys, don't you find this loser funny?" Max said as he looked towards his friend and started laughing.

His friends also joined in as they started laughing at Ryder.
