Chapter 139 Specter
Chapter 139: Specter
Ryder was going through the system when he saw a name that stunned him.
"Janus, why is your name here?" Ryder asked Janus.
There was Janus’ name on the contact screen. It cost 50 credits per minute to call him. Ryder didn’t understand why it would be here.
Janus didn’t reply.
Ryder tapped on the contact to see its details.
[Janus: No details available. 99.999999% discount ongoing. Now call Janus at just 50 Credits]
"Cheh, he’s just trolling me. Does he really expect that I would call him when I can talk to him," Ryder said with a wry smile on his face.
Ryder started scrolling on the screen and found a contact that intrigued him.
[God of Advice: Call the god of advice to ask for any advice. The God of Advice is known for giving the best advice for any problems. 50 credits per minute]
This was the number that Ryder wanted to call.
"Let’s see if his advice is better than what I wanted to do tomorrow or not," Ryder muttered as he looked at the screen.
He called the number.
There was no caller tune or music, but the call was instantly connected.
"Please ask your question."
The voice of the God of Advice sounded calm and peaceful. It made Ryder feel as if he was talking to a really confident and understanding guy, but on the other hand, he also felt as if he had heard that voice before somewhere. He just couldn’t remember.
"There was a girl who bullied my sister and got her arrested. I need to make her apologize to my sister without forcing her. How can I do it in an hour," Ryder told the man.
"I understand. The answer to this question is simple. Make someone else force her," The God of Advice replied.
"I don’t mean it like that. I want her to apologize to my sister on her own," Ryder asked again.
"Give her the enlightenment potion. She would become stronger mentally and would be able to see her mistakes. You wouldn’t even need to do anything," The God of Advice said.
"But..."
*Beep* *Beep*
Ryder was about to ask more questions when the call was disconnected. His one minute was over.
"The enlightenment potion? It sounds like a great thing, but why would I waste that on her. I’ll just follow the first advice and see how it goes," Ryder muttered as he sat up.
He put the deity phone back.
He walked into the shower to get fresh and came out after some time. He got dressed in his nightclothes and left the room.
Ryder walked towards the kitchen. The dinner was almost prepared. After waiting in the kitchen for some time, he was served the food.
He ate the food and had some conversation with Alice about the fact that he would be coming to the University with her tomorrow.
Alice was surprised to hear about that, but she agreed as he told her that he had some business with the Dean.
After finishing the dinner, he walked back to his room.
He laid on the bed and wore the Divinity Glasses.
"Take me to Divinity."
Ryder found himself back in divinity on the same spot where he had disappeared from.
The sun was rising high in the sky, brightening up the small town. Highlighting how ruined and broken, it looked.
"Rale?"
"Your Highness. You’re back."
Rale appeared near Ryder.
"Is everything alright?" Ryder asked.
"Yeah, I didn’t see any person coming here. We are safe," Rale told Ryder.
"Alright. Good," Ryder nodded his head.
"We’re entering the Valley. Call everyone," Ryder commanded Rale as he started walking towards the Valley.
’It’s so amazing to have a team as strong as them, especially Rale. I can do anything. The gaming experience is much better than it was last time. I feel like I’m a guild leader of the strongest guild,’ Ryder thought smilingly.
Soon, everyone was there.
"Everyone be alert. This time’s mission is going to be much more dangerous than the Kingdom of Dark Elves."
Ryder warned everyone to be careful before he took his first step inside the valley of Wandering Souls.
Rale walked closest to Ryder, keeping an eye on his surroundings.
As soon as Ryder stepped inside the Valley of Wandering Souls, he felt something strange. He felt like he had entered a different world altogether.
The atmospheric pressure felt different. The air felt rotten, and the sky was covered in dark clouds that didn’t seem like that from the outside.
"Keep your weapons ready to attack. Physical Attacks don’t work on the monsters of this place. They only work when someone attacks with their treasured weapon or using skills. Don’t attack with hands as it would not be effective in the least," Ryder told the others.
He brought out his Moon Scythe and changed its form to a bow.
"Don’t attack any beast without my orders," He also informed them.
He wanted to get the experience from weaker monsters and let them deal with the stronger monsters.
After walking for only a few minutes, Ryder saw a specter.
It seemed like a wolf, but it was semi-transparent as if it was a spirit of the Wolf.
Ryder used his All-Seer to see the level of the specter. It was supposed to be the weakest beast here as they were on the outskirts, but even it was a level 35 beast.
Ryder aimed his arrow towards the Wolf Spectre and fired his arrow.
His aim was still not perfect, despite the practice he went through, but still, the arrow hit the specter and killed it in an instant.
Ryder gained the experience of killing the beast.
[Absorption Activated: Intelligence +0]
"The heck? Why did it have to choose intelligence to give me? Was my luck so bad?"
Ryder was feeling upset. He had already seen that the Wolf had 0 intelligence when he used the All-Seer on him, but the absorption chose the stats randomly, and he received intelligence, which wasn’t useful in the least.
"Is something wrong, Your Highness?" Rale asked as he saw the confused look on Ryder’s face.
"Nothing. Ignore that," Ryder recovered his casual expression and continued walking ahead.
After walking for some time, Ryder saw a specter beast that was much stronger than him. He knew that he couldn’t kill it himself.
"Rale, you can take that one," Ryder told Rale to kill it.
Rale killed the beast in a single strike.
’I’ll definitely become as strong as you,’ Ryder thought as he looked at Rale, quickly killing the beast.
They continued walking ahead.
