DIVINITY: AGAINST THE GODLY SYSTEM

Chapter 96 Guardian



Chapter 96: Guardian

"This is very bad! It’s the Guardian of the Valley!" Princess Amelia replied.

"Guardian of the Valley?" Ryder asked her in confusion.

"When the first King came here, he found the Guardian of the Valley here. After a lot of effort, he found ways to control the guardian of the valley, but he knew that the guardian of the valley was too dangerous and using it would cause destruction, so he commanded the Guardian of the Valley to stay underground until there came a time when it was needed," She replied.

"Since that day, the Guardian of the Valley has never been used ever again, but its commanding token has been passed down through generations. Father is calling the Guardian of the Valley and ordering it to come out!" she added.

The shaking of the ground continued for only a short period of time before the ground split apart, and a giant stone hand came out of the ground.

Another hand came out, and soon, the whole body of the Guardian of the Valley was out of the ground.

"That’s the Guardian of the Valley?" Ryder let out with a frown as he saw a 50 meter tall giant stone golem standing there. There was no life force inside the golem, but it was able to move and looked even more powerful than a dragon.

"He looks strong. Anyway, If I understood you correctly, you’re saying that the coin can control the Guardian of the Valley?" Ryder asked Amelia.

"Yes. That’s why father always keeps that coin with him in his protection," She replied.

"Rale, can you bring me that coin," Ryder asked Rale with a smile on his face.

Rale nodded his head before he disappeared and appeared in front of the king.

The King was stunned, but he instantly moved back.

"You might be strong, but you can’t match my speed. I’m blessed by the wind. You will all die today," The King said to Rale, with a grin on his face, but his eyes opened wide in shock as he saw the coin in Rale’s hand instead.

He looked towards his hand and saw that the coin was missing.

"H-how!" He exclaimed in shock as his hand started shaking because of the shock that he received.

Rale didn’t bother responding as he walked back to Ryder and gave him the coin.

"Let’s see how it works," Ryder held the coin in his hand just like the king.

"Stop walking!" he commanded, but the Guardian of the Valley didn’t stop.

"Do you think that you can control the Guardian of the Valley just because you have the coin? Only the commands spoken in Ancient Elvian Language works, but I haven’t even taught them to my daughters yet. You can never stop the Guardian! You will die!" The King mocked Ryder.

"Your Highness, Try saying Mikyama Sutina," Rale told Ryder.

The King heard Rale’s words and felt his heart skip a beat.

"H-how, do you know our ancient language!" he bellowed in disbelief.

"Mikyama Sutina!" Ryder commanded.

This time his command worked, and the Guardian of the Valley stopped in its tracks.

"Do you have anything else left?" Ryder asked the King.

The king just stood there, blankly as he stared at them.

’Is there anything I can do still left? They even control the Guardian now!’ The king cursed in his mind.

"As I promised your daughters, I won’t have anyone killed unnecessarily; that’s why I’m still giving you another chance. I only took your Nature Healing Crystal and that too because I really needed it. If you still try to stop me, then you won’t be the only one who dies. If you don’t want me to command your Guardian to destroy your kingdom, then step aside," Ryder commanded.

"You can leave!" the King said.

He ordered the guards to move aside and clear the way for them.

"That’s like a good King," Ryder said to the King.

"Oh, right. Your daughters didn’t betray you. I forced them similar to how I forced you just now. So if you think that they are a betrayer to the kingdom, then you’re the same. Please be a better King and a better father," He added before he glanced back at Amelia and Olivia.

"I’m leaving the Guardian of the Valley behind, but I’m taking the token with me. If you still didn’t behave properly and I found out that you punished anyone for what happened today, that will be the last day of your kingdom in existence," He warned the King before he walked away with Rale and the others.

The Princesses were left behind.

"Will, you ever return?" Princess Amelia let out loudly as she questioned Ryder.

"I will," Ryder responded, but he specifically looked at the King as he said it. It seemed as if he was trying to warn the King.

Amelia and the others looked at the back of Ryder that grew increasingly distant the further he went until he disappeared from their view entirely.

"Just who were those people? Can it be that they were from those places?" the King muttered as he looked in the direction Ryder went.

He turned back to look towards his daughters.

"I’m sorry, girls. I didn’t know that you were forced. I should have trusted you instead of thinking that you betrayed us. Can you forgive this old man of yours?" he asked them.

"Of Course, Father," the girls stepped forth and hugged the king.

Ryder left the Lightning Valley with a bright grin on his face.

"That went quite good. Even though some of it was unexpected, the final result was satisfactory," Ryder muttered.

"Rale, how do I command the Guardian of the Valley to go down in Ancient Elvian?" Ryder asked.

"Xiayina Mihamu Sakiva Ghomu Madyina Nirvayi," Rale replied.

"Xiayina Mihamu Sakiva Ghomu Madyina Nirvayi," Ryder repeated the command and felt the ground shake again.

Back in the Royal Elvian City, the Guardian of the Valley started moving and walked back into the Earth.

"This token is amazing. Now I have another weapon that I can use in the future. Too bad that it’s so slow," Ryder muttered as he kept the Ancient Token in his storage space.

"Rale, do they teach Ancient Elvian in the Demon Realm as well?" Ryder asked Rale.

"They don’t, but there are books related to every language there, Your Highness. I self-taught myself as I wanted to learn the languages of the world," Rale replied.

"Oh? How many languages do you know?" Ryder casually asked.

"I know 1236 languages," Rale replied.

"That’s amazing. I know only one," Ryder said with a wry smile on his face.
