Ryder was informed of the arrival of the Vampire King. He slowly opened his eyes and stood up as he looked around.
"The Vampire King is waiting outside the barrier with High Duke Eston. We'll need to go there to allow them to enter," Devilia said to Ryder and the others.
Ryder glanced towards Rale with a questioning gaze.
Rale nodded his head as if he understood Ryder's meaning.
When Ryder and Rale were alone in the room, Ryder had also talked about something else with Rale.
He had told Rale one of his concerns, which would be negative for them.
Ryder had told Rale about the Vampire King and how he could recognize blood. They both knew that when they were in the Undead Region, both of them had bled. In the alternate reality, the Vampire King had recognized Ryder's involvement in the death of his general through his blood. He knew that if he or Rale bled this time, the results might be the same.
