"Making everyone immortal? Even though you mentioned it, I still can't believe a god as powerful as him would be so stupid. Why would he care if the mortals lived or died? He died for mortals. Such an idiotic being. At least his brother Janus wasn't that stupid and knew about the right thing to do,

" Draco replied, sighing.

" Hah, you weren't even born at that time, so you didn't know that person, but he was... I don't even know how to describe him. He was something else. I'm glad he's dead,

" The God of War let out.

It was the night time when Ryder decided to enter the world of Divinity again.

He joined up with Shu and Rale as they departed on their journey again.

"The Compass is pointing towards that tower. The Ring of Lexini must be inside.

"

Shu and Ryder stepped out of the carriage as they looked at the tall tower in front of them.

"Are you three going to enter this place?

" The Carriage driver asked Shu as he realized that this was the place they wished to see.

He hadn't known where they wanted to go. All they said was that they would pay however much it cost for this journey. He was stunned to see that this was the place.

"Do you know about this place?

" Shu asked the carriage driver.

"It's the Tower of Orc,

" Ryder answered instead.

"Tower of Orc? It's not on the map or the details. Did you have a Quest here as well previously?

" Shu asked in confusion.

"You can say that,

" Ryder answered vaguely, not telling Shu that he had been here before in the Original Timeline.

"That's right. It's the Tower of Orc. Despite knowing that you came here? Let's go back. You shouldn't go inside,

" the Carriage Driver suggested.

"Now I understand why this Quest was a Grade C Quest. We have to take the Ring of Lexini from the Tower of Orc. Even a team of level thirty players might have a hard time finishing this quest. It's a good thing that you're level 43 now,

" Ryder muttered as he gazed at the dark tower before him.

"From the name, it sounds like a tower that will be filled with Orcs. If it's a Grade C Quest, the Orcs wouldn't be stronger than us,

" Shu muttered as he sighed.

"That's true. Even the Orc Lord inside is only at Level 40, if I'm not wrong, but the sheer number of orcs present inside is the real problem. It is slightly easier for high-level players if they come in a team, but if low-level players come in teams, they'll all get wiped out inside. Even though we're only two people, I can clear this place myself, but we can share the prey. I don't think there's anything to worry about,

" Ryder let out as he smiled.

"Do you want to do anything else, or should we barge straight inside?

" he asked Shu.

"Hah, what else would I need. I am fully rested. Let's get inside and have some hunt,

" Shu replied as he laughed.

He pulled out his dagger that he was going to use as a weapon.

"Let's go then,

" Ryder muttered as he started walking towards the Tower of Orc. He let Shu walk in the lead since he didn't wish to take Shu's opportunity to lead a quest.

Walking behind, Ryder closed up on Rale.

"Rale, don't interfere in whatever happens. Just stand behind us and watch. The monsters inside are really weak. Let us handle them on our own,

" he said.

"Understood.

" Rale nodded his head.

"Sigh, kids these days are too overconfident. It's the Orb Tower! Even established warriors are scared to enter this place, and these guys aren't the least bit worried. I hope they can come out safely,

" the Carriage Driver thought as he watched the three people leave.

Shu reached the entrance of the Prison Tower and pushed the door open.

He and Ryder stepped inside the tower and heard an announcement in their head.

Congratulations. You are the first team to enter the Tower of Orcs

Fame 200

"A good start,

" Ryder muttered as he smiled.

"Ah, I know you said that there would be many orcs but isn't it too many? There are more than fifty of them just on the ground floor, and all of them have a level between 20-30. It's tougher than I expected,

" Shu let out, as he looked ahead while ignoring the announcement.

'Hah, only fifty. I expected more. The last time I came, there were close to a hundred. We had such a hard time clearing this place even when I came with the team from the Guild. It's good for Shu that there are fewer Orcs this time,' Ryder thought, remembering the past.

"You can take the Orcs on the left. I'll handle the Orcs on the right. Try to hold out for as long as you can. It's a good opportunity to increase levels. Fall back when you think you can't take it anymore. I'll take over your side as well,

" Ryder told Shu as he brought his Moon Scythe out of his Inventory before he slept forward.

"Alright! Let me show them my wrath,

" Shu let out, full of determination.

Each of his hands held a short knife as he ran towards the Orcs that were after him.

As Shu ran to fight, all the Orcs started running towards him.

"Hey, are you going to leave me alone? Why are you all running to him? Some play with me as well,

" Ryder let out as he jumped in the middle of the Orcs while swinging his Moon Scythe.

A high-level player like Ryder was not someone that these low-level orcs could face. In a single attack, he managed to kill the Orcs that he came in contact with.

Exp 500

Exp 500

Exp 600

The notification of additional Exp kept resounding in his head as he kept killing the Orcs one after another. He didn't even need to use his Spells as a single attack from his Moon Scythe was enough to kill the enemies.

In less than a minute, Ryder had killed more than half the Orcs on this floor.

He had killed thirty orcs alone.

Shu, on the other hand, had only managed to kill two Orcs while trying to defend himself from the rest of the Orcs.

"I killed more than half accidentally now. I don't think he would mind,

" Ryder muttered as he smiled wryly.

Standing on the side, Ryder watched the battle of Shu.

"That's . A decent move of thieves. Not bad. It looks like he has a good mastery of that skill. His speed isn't bad either. He can easily handle the Orcs, even though it might take some time. I don't think I would need to interfere,

" Ryder let out as he observed the battle of Shu.

He didn't jump in the battle since Shu was still leading the battle. Until he was in danger, Ryder wasn't going to chime in.

Rale walked over to Ryder and stood behind him.

"Rale, what do you think of Shu's abilities?

" Ryder casually asked Rale, wondering how an expert warrior of Divinity would judge a player that was using skills.

" His skills aren't bad, but they're not polished enough either. He is a good warrior, though. He should be able to win the battle. He's at the level of Demon kids in battle. He should be proud,

" Rale answered.

Hearing his answer, Ryder couldn't help but cough.

' You're saying that he has the same level of strength as the kids of your species, and you want him to be proud?' he thought.

"Don't tell him that,

" he told Rale.

"Oh right, what and my skills. Give your honest opinion. How weak am I?

" Ryder inquired, curious about his own abilities from Rale's point of view.

"It's tough to judge. Your skills are way greater. I don't think you ever showed your true strength, though, so I can't judge. You're a very down to earth person. I don't think you've ever used more than one percent of your strength even when you were in danger,

" Rale answered.

Ryder smiled wryly after hearing Rale's assumption.

' It's not that I didn't use my strength! It's that I only had that much strength! Just how strong do you think I am, Rale?!' he thought to ask, but he didn't.

While Rale and Ryder were talking, Shu was busy in battle. He had killed five orcs by now, leaving only fifteen more.

His level had also jumped by one level.

He was now a level 44 player, giving him even more boost in his strength.

Ryder wanted to drop the topic, but he didn't as his curiosity kept increasing. Unable to control himself, he ultimately asked,

"How staying do you think I am exactly?

"

Rale glanced at Ryder as he smiled.

"That's a tough question, but I have an assumption.

"
