Chapter 265: New Skill
Ryder came out of his daze as High Duke Eston entered the great hall with the Vampire King and Devilia.
"I have seen them all. I am prepared to start at a moment’s notice," High Duke Eston said as he opened his eyes.
Ryder opened his eyes slowly and looked in the direction of High Duke Eston as he nodded his head.
" Have a seat. Start as soon as you can. I don’t want there to be any delays. Every second is important," Ryder said.
High Duke Eston walked back to his seat and sat down. The Vampire King also sat beside High Duke Eston. Devilia sat beside Rale.
"After you cast the spell, you should not only see what they see, but you should be able to hear their thoughts too. It will be challenging, but I’m sure you can do it. When you’re ready, take a deep breath and establish a link so that you can send them a message about starting the search," Ryder let out after High Duke Eston sat down.
High Duke Eston nodded his head. He took a deep breath as he roamed his gaze all around the room. He rolled his eyes as his gaze landed on High Duke Mila. High Duke Mila smiled. She knew that High Duke Eston was annoyed as she dumped this task on him instead of doing it herself, but she didn’t feel bad. Instead, she enjoyed watching the annoyed look of High Duke Eaton.
"I’m ready. The search will begin now," High Duke Eston said as he closed his eyes and started casting a spell.
"O Lord of Demons, Give me the strength,
Let me take the happiness and pain of all your followers that I wish,
...
...
Give me their thoughts and give them my though,
The world shall show me through their eyes,
Eyes of Changing, Thought of Soro
Let this be the wish of a Demon,
Dreimaia!"
High Duke Eston finished casting a spell.
Ryder glanced at them and heard the chanting. He wondered if he could cast the same spell with this chant as well? This chant was the most simple spell that he had heard, which didn’t use any ancient words. Instead, it used the generally spoken language. He wondered if he could cast this skill by changing a few things about it.
Ryder looked towards High Duke Mila and wondered if he should ask her.
’ No, she can be too stern. Rale knows about it too. I should take his help,’ Ryder thought as he gave up on the idea of asking High Duke Mila.
He waited until High Duke Eston went silent and finished establishing a link with the Guards.
After he saw High Duke Eaton not moving for over five minutes, he nodded his head as he was sure that the link of High Duke Eston was completed. It was the time of searching the whole city with the net of guards, which would take a long time. He could take some time off from this place without missing anything.
Ryder stood up from his throne. High Duke Mila watched him curiously. She was surprised as she saw Ryder coming towards her without saying anything, but she didn’t lose her composure.
She watched Ryder come closer and closer until Ryder was standing right beside her.
Ryder moved even closer as he bent his body forward, placing his arms on both sides of High Duke Mila’s throne as his face was just a half a meter away from her face.
High Duke Mila’s expressions turned a little unnerving as she looked in Ryder’s eyes.
’Is he going to kiss her?’ The Vampire King thought as he looked at Ryder and High Duke Mila.
’I didn’t know their Prince was a person like that. Sigh, the demons are really like I heard. They are a creature of their emotions, lust being the strongest of them. The rumors were true after all," the Vampire King’s thoughts continued, wandering off into different conclusions.
Ryder, on the other hand, kept bringing his face closer to High Duke Mila’s face, but just as his lips were a few inches away from her confused face, he turned his face to the left and brought his lips closer to her ears.
"I need to leave this took with Rale for a few minutes. You stay here and keep an eye on the Vampire King. I’ll be back in a few minutes. Also, sorry for coming so close. I just don’t want to disturb High Duke Eston," Ryder whispered in the ears of High Duke Devilia.
His warm breath brushed against her ears, giving her a strange feeling. She could also smell Ryder’s smell. She couldn’t help but feel something strange, but she controlled her expressions and didn’t let it show on her face. She nodded her head.
Ryder moved back before he walked closer to Rale and whispered in his ears to follow after him silently.
Rale followed the orders as he stood up and walked towards the exit, leaving High Duke Devilia, High Duke Mila, and others behind.
Ryder and Rale left the great hall. Ryder didn’t say anything as he continued walking in a certain direction. Rale didn’t ask any questions, either.
After walking for some more time, Rale realized where Ryder was going since they were getting closer to the Room of Ryder in the Palace of High Duke Devilia.
Ryder opened the door and entered inside.
"Come in," He told Rale after entering.
Rale also entered the room after Ryder.
Ryder walked closer to the window and looked outside. He could still see a few guards standing outside.
" It’s surprising how a person could link his brain to tens of thousands of people while still being the same. This skill of High Duke Eston is pretty amazing," Ryder said as he looked outside.
"This is a good skill, indeed. From what I heard, our Second Demon Emperor had created this skill to command his men effectively in war. While High Dukes can only link to a few hundreds of thousands of people with this skill, the Second Demon Emperor was said to be able to link to the entire Demon Realm and its million of Demons," Rale explained.
"Interesting. He must be pretty high level," Ryder muttered as he smiled.
"Anyway, I brought you here to talk to you about something really important. I want to learn this skill. I need you to teach me everything about this skill," Ryder said to Rale as he glanced back.
"Ah, that? I can teach you about the skill, but I would suggest you not to use this skill before you’re stronger than me. This skill is not something to be used lightly. It can really harm the brain if it’s used carelessly," Rale told Ryder.
