Chapter 166: Third Fragment

[Third fragment of Bracelet of Immortality found]

[Fragment of Wind found]

[Bracelet of Immortality: Second Seal is broken]

[Skill Received: Ruler of Wind]

[+10 Level ]

"Ruler of Wind?" Ryder muttered as he glanced at the notification.

"Your Highness, we need to leave," The guard reminded Ryder, who was in a daze.

Ryder closed the screen.

"Yeah, let's leave this place. We are done here," Ryder said as he stood up.

He left the place under the heavy Protection of his team, which kept dealing with the specters.

'The Level Rankings are updated every 24 hours. I think I can imagine how shocked people will be after they find out my jump in ten levels in a day,' Ryder thought as he left the place.

They kept advancing towards the exit as fast as they could. Soon, they left the core region of the Valley of Wandering Souls.

Ryder and his team reached the place where they had fought the Vampire General.

The Frozen Pond was melted entirely, and the water seemed to be crystal clear now.

They traveled for hours and left the inner region as well. Soon after, they were outside the Valley of Wandering Souls.

They all stopped after they stepped out of the Valley. It was said that the Spectres and the Guardian couldn't leave the Valley. Now, all they needed to do was wait for Rale to come out. Then they would be able to leave the Undead Region.

Ryder stayed back as he opened the screen again to read the description of the Skill that he had received after the third seal was unlocked.

He opened the description of Ruler of Wind to see if it was as useful as Ruler of Time and Nature or not.

[Ruler of Wind: Wind is everywhere. It is what allows people to breathe, yet it can make them die. It can be soothing, and it can be terrifying. Not only humans but all the species depend on it. The one that controls Wind has the potential to control the surroundings and to reach higher than the heaven]

[Active Skill: Blessed by Wind]

[Blessed by Wind]

[Skill 1: Flying]

[Skill 2: Locked (Level not enough)]

[Skill 3: Locked (Level not enough)]

'It's a set of 3 skills as well?' He let out in surprise.

He clicked on flying to see if it actually meant the same as what he was thinking. He hoped that it was the same. If he received the ability to fly, it would be amazing, especially since he would be able to use that in the real world as well.

[Flying: Provides the holder Ability to fly

When using Flying, one can touch the skies and fly like the wind]

[(Warning: Flying can't be used beyond the current limit)]

[Current limit: Flying can only be used for 55 minutes in a day]

[(Note: Flying depends on the level of the user. Every five levels increases limit by 5 minutes) ]

"Ability to fly, huh, let me try," Ryder muttered as he used the Flying.

He started rising in the air, but his control was weak. He was a bit shaky, but he was able to fly.

"I need some practice," Ryder muttered as he stopped using flying and landed on the ground.

The others were looking towards the Valley, so no one saw him fly.

Time kept passing slowly, and it was already evening.

Ryder was starting to get worried. It was late, and Rale was still not there yet.

He wondered if something had gone wrong, but he saw someone coming out of the Valley of Wandering Souls.

It was Rale. His body was covered in blood, which seemed like his own. He was injured.

"Rale, are you fine?" Ryder ran up to Rale and supported him.

"You should've seen the condition of that guardian," Rale joked as he smiled.

"Let's get you inside the hut. You need to rest," Ryder said as he carried Rale to the small hut nearby. He made him lie down on a mattress that he carried with him in his storage space.

"Are you really fine?" Ryder asked Rale again as he saw that the bleeding wasn't stopping.

"I'm fine, Your Highness. I just underestimated the Guardian. His strength increased so much after you guys left. He was probably angry. I did handle him, though. As for my wounds, don't worry about it. I would be fine by the morning. It's just taking some time. Once the healing kicks in, I'll be healed in a few hours," Rale comforted Ryder.

"Thank you for everything," Ryder thanked Rale. He was feeling so glad to have Rale. He had already started considering Rale like his brother.

"Rest now. There's no need to worry about anything else. The mission is completed," Ryder told Rale as he held his hand.

Rale nodded his head as he closed his eyes.

Ryder sat there for an hour to make sure that nothing was going wrong, but after making sure that Rale had started healing, he stood up.

"You guys need to protect Rale tonight. Keep an eye on the surroundings so that nothing unexpected happens," Ryder told the others before he disappeared from before them.

The others had already become accustomed to seeing that. They didn't know that Ryder had logged out.

Ryder woke up in the real world. He took off the Divinity glasses and kept them in his inventory. It was 7 Am in the morning.

He sat up and entered the shower. He came out and got dressed before he left his room.

He wondered if Alice was sleeping.

"Alice? I'm leaving," He called out once before he left the house.

Ryder didn't take his own car to the airport; instead, he booked a cab.

The cab dropped him off at the nearest Airport.

He went through the checking and other related stuff, and soon, he was sitting on the business class seat of the plane that was going to Washington.

The flight was as comfortable as it could be. There was no disturbance, and everything passed peacefully. No one talked in the business class. Ryder simply slept in the flight.

The flight stopped at the Bright Sun Airport in Washington. He stepped out of the plane.

Just a few minutes ago, another plane had arrived at the same airport from a different direction. It was the plane that was carrying the FBI agents that were here to deal with the missing bodies' case.

As Ryder was in the airport, leaving towards the exit, he passed by Riya and the other agents, not knowing that their final destination was the same.
