After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 228 - 77: Smooth My Ass!

It was nightfall.

The cold wind was biting.

In a small border town, almost every household was shut tightly, the only sign of life being the light that seeped through the cracks in the doors.

"Ah, it’s so cold." Suna covered her mouth with her hands and breathed out a stream of warm air. She felt helpless about the snow disaster. During previous plagues, people generally died quickly, which didn’t have much impact on order and production.

But now with the snow disaster, everyone was suffering.

"Wait here for me," Xi Mu stopped and pointed to a dilapidated house nearby, explaining to a surprised Suna.

"I’m going to hunt vampires; you following me would just be a hindrance."

"I feel like you’re underestimating me." Suna puffed her cheeks, feeling dissatisfied with Ahtal’s contempt.

However, seeing Ahtal grin, showing sparks between his teeth, she had to face reality.

At fourteen, her strength was still quite weak.

Xi Mu turned around and disappeared, his figure vanishing in the snowstorm, leaving Suna to turn and enter the rickety house. The first thing she noticed upon entering was a woman with long black hair, wearing a white dress.

Her eyes were blood-red, and she was holding a dagger to herself, appearing to be about to commit suicide.

"A vampire?" Suna asked in confusion, and the woman relaxed a bit, sizing up Suna and then asking:

"Who are you?"

"Suna, I’m a nun." Suna maintained her smile and sat down beside the old wooden bed.

"Tell me about your situation."

"Elizabeth. Until a few days ago, I was just another villager," the woman lowered her eyes, her voice filled with sorrow, "until Fald... forced his way into the village, insisted on marrying me, and turned me into a vampire."

She clenched her hands tightly.

"Madam Nun, could you please..."

"No need, someone is already on it," Suna waved her hand and with a subtle expression, she said, looking toward the door:

"The Fald you’re talking about is probably dying right about now."

"Huh?" Elizabeth paused, not quite understanding Suna’s words, but as she felt the ground shake and saw a sudden light in the sky, she grasped the meaning of Suna’s words.

It seems that an incredible character has arrived here, specifically to hunt Fald. What a coincidence.

"As expected of Hecate’s disciple, quite capable," Suna muttered under her breath, guessing that Ahtal had probably anticipated Elizabeth’s situation and had ridden his mare to the remote town to challenge the nefarious vampire at his door.

But isn’t this a bit too hasty? You should at least meet the victim and tell Elizabeth that you’re here to help her,

instead of just barging in to chop Fald down.

Meanwhile,

elsewhere,

"Who the hell are you!" Fald clutched his bleeding arm, his eyes ablaze with fury. Was this human crazy? He burst into his home and started attacking without a word, giving no chance for negotiation, and even set his century-old castle ablaze.

"Just a passerby player," Xi Mu replied calmly, then extended a finger, and a stream of blazing fire swirled in the sky, forming into a sun.

Crazy.

Fald realized something; he simply couldn’t understand the guy’s thought process, but he knew he needed to kill him.

"I see you don’t take me, Fald, seriously!" he growled angrily, his nails turning sharp as he lunged at Ahtal.

And with him, a blazing sun plummeted from the sky.

"Boom!" The mountaintop was engulfed in flames, the spreading heat melted the thick snow as if suddenly bringing summer.

The flames receded.

The ground was scorched red, the mountaintop had disappeared halfway, and Fald was nowhere to be seen, turned to ash under that overwhelming sun.

Xi Mu turned and walked away.

Before he had slain Fald, he had already taken the necessary meteorite, and then proceeded to execute Fald.

In the first round, he had triggered a side quest related to Fald, watching Elizabeth being turned into a vampire by the evil Fald had felt... exhilarating, an opportunity for a hero to save a beauty.

Then he had rushed to kill Fald, subsequently involving a long secondary line, from Elizabeth’s origins to Count Dracula, tracing the origins of vampires.

At that time, players had the chance to become the "original" vampire.

But the quest line was simply too long, so he only planned to pick up the enhanced equipment meteorite, as for the subsequent quests... not happening.

He might as well wait for Count Dracula to come knocking, then casually kill him.

...

...

Back in town.

Xi Mu pushed open the door and saw Suna and Elizabeth sitting on the bed, whispering to each other, throwing him inquisitive glances.

"Lord Ahtal, thank you very much." Elizabeth stood up gracefully, bowing to Ahtal.

She took off her bracelet and handed it over.

"This is..."

"Keep it yourself," Xi Mu waved his hand, shifting his gaze to Suna, and said:

"Let’s go, we still have a long way ahead."

"Just leave like this?" Suna glanced at the pitiful Elizabeth and quietly asked, "Leaving her alone here... is that really okay?"

"Should we take her with us to hunt the source of fear?" Xi Mu retorted, making Suna’s expression freeze.

It was clearly impractical to take a woman who had just turned into a vampire on their quest to hunt the source of fear.
