Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 225
Advertisement
Ryder picked up the keys, inserted them in the keyhole, and swung them to unlock the door, but the door didn't open up.
"Strange. That's what I heard unlocked it last time. Could it be that something else had to be done too which the person who opened the door hid from others? Or is it that I made a mistake by destroying the statues before they were activated and started attacking?" Ryder frowned as he looked at the door that wasn't unlocked. No matter what he tried, he wasn't able to push it to open.
"Is there a problem with the door?" Rale asked Ryder as he saw him frowning.
"Yeah, it's not opening from the keys," Ryder muttered as he shook his head.
He started looking around the broken pieces of the statue to see if there was something hidden there which he had missed accidentally.
*Thump*
Suddenly, Ryder heard a loud sound. He turned back only to find that the door wasn't obstructing their path anymore. It was open. It was better to say that the door was smashed to pieces, and the obstruction was removed from its roots by using fill strength.
"Problem solved," Rale said as he gave a cheeky smile.
"Well, that was an option as well, I guess. You're definitely too strong for a low difficulty dungeon," Ryder chuckled as he stood up and started walking ahead and entered a big room.
There was no door in the room, though.
"Don't do anything. Whatever little bit of experience it may be, I still need it. Let me handle the problems now," Ryder told Rale as he took a step forward.
As soon as he took a step forward, he got a notification from the game.
"As expected, it's the Dark Wolves that will come here this time. I already know all there is to know about it. Here comes the first one," Ryder said as he smiled.
"Flame Blast!"
He raised his hand above his hand and used a spell.
A giant ball of fierce flames appeared above his hand that shot up towards the roof.

Ryder didn't even look up as he heard a big pained scream.
"One down, five more to go," Ryder muttered as he shook his head.
He looked behind and pointed his hand towards Rale.
Rale could already feel a Dark Wing Wolf appearing behind him, but he didn't move as he was confident that he wouldn't be harmed, and he didn't want to disturb Ryder's aim.
Ryder shot out a fireball that passed my Rale. It missed Rale by just a few inches as it hit the Dark Wing Wolf that was behind him. If his aim was a little off, then he could have got Rale accidentally, but even that wouldn't be harmful to Rale as Ryder's strength and the level was too weak even to injure him.
Ryder could only injure Rale if he used the Moon Scythe, but even that wouldn't be life-threatening because of the level difference.
"Rale, close your eyes," Ryder said to Rale. Rale complied as he closed his eyes.
Ryder was looking at Rale, and just when he saw Rale close his eyes, he pointed his palm towards the ground.
"Sandstorm!" Ryder cast another spell. A sandstorm appeared in the room and covered the whole room, which smashed everything in the rook to pieces. Rale was too strong, so he wasn't affected as Ryder had expected. Ryder was at the core of the sandstorm, so he wasn't affected either.
Ultimately, the sandstorm stopped. The entire floor of the room was covered now.
"They're all dead. The entrance of the next portion should be opening soon," Ryder muttered as he started walking ahead.
Ryder and Rale reached the front wall and a door shaped opening opened in the wall.
They stepped into another long hallway that had lamps on both sides of the hallway that brightened up the path.
Ryder and Rale walked to the end of the hallway and saw a wall that was blocking their path.
Rale was about to smash through the wall too, but Ryder stopped him.
"Don't do anything. This place should be near the core of the dungeon. If you break it, the dungeon might fall down," Ryder said as he stopped Take.

"This wall won't affect the dungeon. I can see that it's not the support. We can break it," Rale replied as he shook his head.
"There's no need to take the risk, though. What I'm here to get is really important. Also, it's not difficult to pass through this wall. I know how to do it," Ryder said to Rale as he stepped closer to the wall. He placed his palm on the wall.
As soon as his palm touched the wall, some words appeared on the wall.
Ryder read the words on the wall, which seemed to be a question.
"The King's weapon was broken, yet he won. The sword was broken, yet he slashed. The Shield was broken, yet he defended. How?"
"Easy, he slaughtered the Enemies with his pure strength like His Majesty would do," Rale said to Ryder.
"That's what strong kings from our kingdom will do. This question is related to this kingdom, and I have three chances to answer since I activated the question. Fortunately, I remember the answer," Ryder muttered as he shook his head.
"The king's commander defended the King in that battle until their army won," Ryder answered the questions.
"Correct." The words on the wall changed.
Another question appeared on the wall.
"The gods that bless the kingdom are called the Dilo and Milakna, what are they known for," The second question asked.
'This dungeon is the dungeon that is related to the kingdom. It's not supposed to be a dungeon but the tomb of the first king. His inheritance is inside this tomb, and that's why the questions are related to the kingdom. The person that opened it last time had inquired around and knew some things about this kingdom. That's why he was able to open the entrance here as well. This is going to be quite easy,' Ryder thought as he smirked.
He answered the question correctly again. Another question appeared, and then questions kept appearing until Ryder had finished all the questions. He had responded to all questions correctly.
He was only allowed to say wrong answers three times before he failed. The person that had opened the tomb last time was wrong twice, but Ryder knew the answers, so he got them all right.
"That's better," Ryder muttered as he nodded his head.
' This can help me with the Princess. As long as the Royals don't despise me, I can still try,' Ryder thought as he saw the possibility of completing the quest of Janus.
He removed his hand from the wall. Another opening appeared on the wall that allowed them to pass through, but as soon as they passed through the wall, they saw tens of giant bulls running towards then.
Ryder twisted his body as he swung his Scythe in a horizontal motion.
"Enraged Slash!" Ryder let out as he used his skill.
A horizontal arc of light left the sword and passed through the room. The arc of light moved forward. Its edges were leaving deep groves behind on the walls of the room.
...
Ryder started getting the notification as the arc of light cut through all ten of the giant bulls. He also got the notification of ten percent Absorption ability activating simultaneously. He had gained the strength stat from only one bull. The other bulls gave him intelligence and dexterity only.
"If this absorption weren't random, it would be so amazing to get strength stat only," Ryder muttered as he sighed.
"At Least I got something, so it's not too bad," He let out as he shook his head
"Let's continue," he said to Rale as he started walking ahead.
Ryder passed through even more traps and faced even more dangers, but this dungeon was pretty easy for someone like him that had a high level. He easily passed through all the obstructions and gained experience along the way.
After two hours, Ryder reached the end of the dungeon.
He was standing in a giant room that was the final room.

The Errant Otherworlder Watanabe
“In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death, taxes and trucks whom transport men to other worlds.” Meet our titular protagonist Haruto Watanabe, a man who has all the markings of a good protagonist for a generic portal fantasy story. As an overworked office worker, to escape from the grips of crippling capitalist alienation, he had taken up to reading many stories where young men like him were transported to other worlds and enjoyed their lives at a most leisurely pace. Armed with genre-awareness and (what he believes to be) a marketable personality which would make him an easy audience self-insert, he longed for the day the isekai express would take him to his long-awaited adventure to another world. When the fateful day came, where the fair yet harsh mistress that is the fabled truck took Watanabe on one last date to the other side, he was most ready to escape his previous life, ready to embark on an errant so great he’d be most overpowered, his heroics so exceptional and his harem so vast that they would barely fit ten or twenty volumes of an overly long novel made by a desperate author looking for quick cash. Lo and behold however, Watanabe instead found himself in a low fantasy world which lacked severely in the department of any game-like systems, cheat skills or easily charmed damsels in distress. In a setting so antithetical to his established genre savviness or any attempts at power fantasy, how will a man like Watanabe, lacking in strength, wits and courage, manage to survive in a land most foreign to him? This is my first time trying to share to the wider world what I’ve written, and I hope you’ll enjoy reading the errantry of Watanabe as much as I enjoy writing about them. I'll be posting one chapter per week on Sundays, along with extra chapters whenever I get the chance to write more than usual.
