Chapter 486: Deciding

"I was talking about their Prince, but I might be just as ignorant as well," Ryder muttered as he smiled wryly at the ignorance.

He didn’t even know items like these existed. Didn’t this basically mean that the Royal City has no safety? Their barrier was truly useless?

He released a mouthful of breath, trying to think of ways to make sure that he didn’t become a part of another sneak attack that seemed inevitable one day.

"It would be time to leave soon. Until then, I can try to find a place that would be a good target. I need to stay here to not bring in more suspicions to me," he mumbled under his breath as he tried to find a person to target.

’If I kill a person here, I’ll not only achieve my target, but I can also take his identity and their house as my own. So finding the person who lives alone should be best,’ he thought as his gaze roamed over all the well-dressed people walking back and forth in the marketplace.

It seemed a bit too crowded. There were shops, but a lot of people could also be seen on the streets, trying to sell their items.

’Last time I came here, I didn’t notice it last time, but this place is actually a bit less arranged than ours. They seem to have no proper arrangement here.’

As he walked and observed his surroundings, he couldn’t help but think of the differences between this place compared to the Demon Realm Royal City.

Even though he took casual steps not to attract any attention, it didn’t take him long before he left the marketplace and reached a more isolated part of the city. Not many people could be seen on the roads here, but the houses here seemed to be in decent condition.

Ryder was following after a middle-aged Death Dweller, who he had noticed in the marketplace. Even though the person was not intimidating, he had a lot of muscles on his body. Strangely enough, though, he wasn’t strong.

Unlike Dark Tooth, whose level Ryder couldn’t see because of being too high, this man’s level was clearly visible.

Through his ’All-Seer’, he was able to see the man’s stats. A screen was floating on the outer edge of his view with the stats of the person.

[Name: Old Jiw]

[Species: Death Dweller]

[Level: 1]

[Strength: 1]

[Defence: 1]

[Speed:1]

[Dexterity:1]

[Stamina:1]

...

Even though Ryder found it weird that the man was so weak, he didn’t care. It was a good thing to find a person like that. It was an easy kill. He could kill the man with one strike, but he wanted to wait for the time when they were alone.

Killing this man was going to bring his score in the Kingship Trial to one. Even though this man was unbelievably weak, he was still a person who lived here. So he satisfied the criteria.

After following the man for some time, Ryder finally got the opportunity to be alone with the guy. This man had finally stopped, and they also happened to be in a place where not a single person was there.

’Is that his house?’ Ryder thought as he noticed the man looking to the south towards one of the houses.

He also started walking towards the house. He brought some key out of his pocket and opened the lock of the house before he entered.

Ryder nodded his head, realizing that he was right. This house belonged to this man, and since it was locked, he probably lived here alone. The target couldn’t be any more perfect.

He strode towards the house that Old Jiw gas already entered.

Standing before the door, he looked at both sides to make sure that not a single person was there. Only after making sure, he brought out the Moon Scythe to its real shape.

He knocked on the door and waited for it to be opened. As soon as the door opened, he swung his scythe, not waiting for a moment.

The scythe stabbed in the heart of the man that had just opened the door. The man seemed stunned as he was attacked by the person he didn’t even know about.

His death came as a shock to him, that too after he had just returned home. He died with so many questions in his head.

...

As the man’s body disappeared, Ryder stepped over the ground where the man happened to be standing until a few moments ago.

Closing the door, Ryder started searching the house to make sure that no one else was there.

Knock!

Ryder had just finished checking the whole house. He was glad that no one was inside, but a known stunned him. It seemed to be coming from the door.

"Who could it be? A neighbor?" Ryder muttered, gazing at the pale door.

’I’m not opening. If they think that no one is inside, they’ll go away,’ he thought as he refused to open the door.

"Is that guy late today?" A female-sounding voice came from outside before the creaking sound of the door resounded inside the house.

Ryder hastily uses the mask to change himself to the man he had killed just now as he saw the door open, not understanding how someone could open the locked door so easily. Did they have a key as well? Was it someone who lived here too?

He thought as he stood calmly to see who it was.

As the door opened, Ryder saw a beautiful woman. The woman had shiny dark hair that seemingly came down to her waist. Her hourglass-shaped body was even more visible in the tight-fitting dress which she was wearing.

The woman saw Ryder standing before him.

"You are here, and you refused to open the door?" She said, frowning as she started walking towards Ryder.

Ryder activated All-Seer and tried to see the stats of the woman who was before him. Unfortunately, he couldn’t see anything. The woman was much stronger than him in levels compared to the man had been.

The woman approached Ryder, who got ready to use his other methods to take care of the woman, but her following words made him stop.

"Darling, were you busy inside? You could’ve told me. I wouldn’t have knocked. I would have used my keys in the first place instead," the Woman told Ryder.

These words made Ryder realize that he wasn’t in danger. This woman was probably the wife of the man. It was still strange, though. A man that was level one was married to a woman who had a level he couldn’t see.

’Love is truly blind, I guess,’ he thought, justifying it with that.

The woman approached Ryder and wrapped her arms around him.

"I missed you so much," she said with a longing look on her face as she brought her face closer to Ryder’s face and kissed his lips.

The kiss felt as real as it could be.

"Blood, don’t make me wait longer. Let’s go to the bedroom. I need to go back home as well. I only have a few hours to spend with you," the woman said.

’So she is here for a few hours. She has a different home. It must be an affair or something, I guess. What can I do? If I log out, I’ll lose this house which I can use. And the girl can even report to the Guards about this suspicious thing. That would be a mess,’ Ryder thought, wondering what he could do. He couldn’t just disappear now.

The only other option was to spend the next few hours with the girl but what it implied was that the girl probably wanted to have something intimate with him.

If he stayed, it was going to be his first time doing that in divinity and to go that with this woman?

He tried to think of the advantages and disadvantages, including the moral dilemmas.

He didn’t have much time to think, so he came to a decision as the women started pulling him towards the bedroom.

...

"That was great. Am I just imagining it, or did you actually improve?"

Ryder was lying on the bed while the woman laid beside him, her hand resting on his bare chest.

"Why aren’t you saying anything, by the way?" She further asked, wondering why Ryder was silent throughout this.

Since she had come here, he hadn’t spoken a single word.

"Is your throat aching or something?" She asked Ryder, who nodded in response. Since she gave him the excuse herself, who was he to say no.

"Oh, don’t speak then. Give your throat some rest. You should be fine in some time," the woman said to Ryder as she sat up.

"Anyway, I should be leaving. My husband should be getting home soon."

She got off the bed and started getting dressed.

After getting dressed, she slid over the bed and gave Ryder another kiss.
