After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 234 - 80: Lava Giant…Dead
Magic Kingdom.
Great Library.
"You’re here to see my apprentice, aren’t you?" Hecate gently propped her chin with her slender hand, her ink-black eyes reflecting the image of the red-haired man and woman across the table.
She chuckled softly.
"Unfortunately, my apprentice is not at home right now ... he is dealing with some important matters."
"Important matters?" Michael turned his head to look at Mist’s disappointed expression and couldn’t help but shake his head and say, "Lady Hecate, may I ask when Ahtal will return?"
"In a month." Hecate smiled elegantly, picked up the coffee cup on the table, and explained to the two siblings across the table, "However, you don’t have to wait a month to see him."
She looked at Mist’s expectant gaze.
"My apprentice has provoked some troublesome enemies and will need your help when he sends out a distress signal."
"Enemies, who are they?" Mist asked succinctly. She was ready to set off immediately to slay Ahtal’s enemies.
"He will ask for help himself when he needs it." Hecate shook her head, intentionally changing the subject, and talked about some other matters.
Mist didn’t pursue further upon hearing this. She trusted that Hecate would not harm Ahtal, after all, Hecate was Ahtal’s mentor.
And having previously received Hecate’s help, she had even less reason to contradict Hecate; she could only wait patiently.

Meanwhile.
Elsewhere.
Count Dracula the vampire stood on the vanished mountaintop, his crimson eyes revealing a hint of confusion, which soon turned into ... anger.
"Who killed my brother!" His roar, full of a terrifying murderous intent, changed into a bat and disappeared from the spot, heading for the town below.
He captured a few villagers and extracted their memories from their blood, learning about the incidents from recent times.
Hero Ahtal had passed through the village, found Ms. Elizabeth who had been forcibly turned into a vampire, and directly confronted and killed his brother.
Afterward, he had advised Elizabeth to seek refuge in the Magic Kingdom or Sky City.
This act very much aligned with the characteristic image of a hero in the people’s hearts: for the young girl’s safety, he eliminated a monster.
But since the monster killed was his brother, the situation was starkly different.
Ahtal must pay with his own blood for the blood debt.
...
...
"Little one, tell me the movement route of the Lava Giant." Xi Mu maintained a smile as he addressed the dwarf Lolita tied to the trunk:
"Just say it, and I’ll let you go."
"Keep dreaming, I’d rather die than tell you!" The dwarf Lolita’s gaze was resolute, her pupils flared with fire, and her body temperature soared rapidly as if turning into charcoal.
She was trying to burn herself to death.
And as for a death duel with Ahtal, well ... she knew she would only disgrace herself; there was no chance of winning.
So, she was planning to burn herself to death.
However.
"..." Xi Mu reached out, touched the dwarf Lolita’s head, and cast Healing Prayer, saving the suicidal dwarf Lolita.
The atmosphere quieted down.
The dwarf Lolita’s mouth gaped slightly as she looked at Ahtal’s calm gaze, feeling a strong sense of frustration, like even suicide was unattainable.
This man was so annoying.
"Ahhh!" An angry scream as the dwarf Lolita’s body temperature surged again, attempting to burn herself to death.
Subsequently, she was rescued by Ahtal again.
After several repetitions,
The dwarf Lolita grew pale, drooped her head, and looked dejected; she no longer wanted to continue attempting suicide. Suicide was painful enough; being rescued multiple times only added to her torment.
"Just kill me; I’ll never reveal the information."
Poor dwarf.
Suna couldn’t help but turn her head away from the scene of the dwarf Lolita trying to die but being repeatedly saved, feeling ... pity.
It must have been very painful and distressing.
"Most followers of the Dusk Cult live underground, both to be closer to the Flame Giant Surter and to hide themselves." Xi Mu began analyzing, "Given the size of the Lava Giant, if it moved on the surface, its route would certainly be detected."
He analyzed while looking into the dwarf Lolita’s eyes.
"Therefore, the Lava Giant is likely to emerge from underground, especially since you were just now presiding over a ceremony for the followers of the Dusk Cult."
"The Lava Giant is probably about to surface nearby."
Dwarf Lolita:"..."
Is he making fun of her and bullying her? He could already guess on his own yet continued to pressure her for answers.
"And given that the Lava Giant wields the Substandard Sword of Radiance, once it appears in the world above, it will essentially have no chance of stopping the Lava Giant from breaking the barrier." Xi Mu continued his analysis, noting the dwarf Lolita’s increasingly defeated expression.
"So, we must stop the Lava Giant in the underground world beforehand." He flexed his wrists, turned to Suna and said,
"You go meet the All-Knowing Saintess and the Red Dragon King; I’ll handle the Lava Giant."
"No way." Suna rejected the idea immediately; she was very familiar with the information about the Lava Giant—an entity wielding a Divine Artifact, and just by touching magma could gain the blessing of the Flame Giant Surter, making it invincible in an underground battle.
However.
"This is an order, not a discussion." Xi Mu smiled, flame escaping between his teeth, watched by Suna and the dwarf Lolita as he leaped backward. With a sudden jump, his body flew hundreds of meters backwards, then he spit out Dragon Breath onto the ground.
