After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 236 - 81: Prohibition of Time Travel
"..." Xi Mu looked at the lava giant that had died, merged with magma, and turned to mount his mare. He was well aware of the lava giant’s strength. As long as it remained in a magma environment, it was essentially difficult to kill.
However, with an excessive attack that surpassed the lava giant’s recovery speed, it could be directly slain.
Therefore, dealing with a lava giant was very simple. One only needed to find an entity powerful enough to beat the lava giant to near death, then finish it off with a single blow.
"Surely only a man who has battled gods could achieve this," came a playful laugh, accompanied by a faint fishy smell.
Xi Mu looked coldly over, only to see a man with an eye patch and fish gills beneath his ears, carrying a serrated greatsword, casually walking towards him.
Their gazes met.
No need for hesitation.
No need for words.
The battle broke out in an instant. Xi Mu’s Great Sword of Death swung out, colliding with the shark-man’s greatsword. The clash sparked an explosion, scattering the hot magma around them.
"Ha~ Is this the power of a dragon?" the shark-man chuckled madly, revealing sharp teeth, his body involuntarily stepping back a few steps.
Being a shark-man, his strength was far greater than that of humans, but compared to a dragon, the apex of creatures, there still existed an insurmountable gap.
"Maybe it’s better to call it quits," he back-stepped a few paces, landing next to the Substandard Sword of Radiance, and watched as the mountain-like Substandard Sword of Radiance quickly shrank to be grasped in one hand.
"I don’t want to fight to the death with you now," he said, then leaped over the magma with a flip of his legs, disappearing from sight.
Engaging in battle with Ahtal was too risky. Even though his Magic Power was stronger than Ahtal’s, facing the unleashed Sword of Light...
There was a high probability of being killed.
"Hmph, weakling," Xi Mu withdrew his gaze. He didn’t care about the shark-man’s escape; he needed to focus on slaughtering the followers of the Dusk Cult. Wasting too much Magic Power on the shark-man would reduce his gains.
And he would have the chance to slay the shark-man later.
Now, he needed to kill as many followers of the Dusk Cult as possible before Suna... was killed, trying to accumulate as much experience as possible.
Indeed.
In fact, he could retain his memories after ’return from death’, a privilege of being a "player", allowing him to use this trait to repetitively farm experience before Suna respawns.
Next time he respawns, he could also burst experience from the lava giant.
Once he had exploited Suna’s value to the fullest, he would then send the God of Fear to the high heavens.
...
...
Fenrir Kingdom.
Outside the Royal City.
"Achoo!" Suna suddenly sneezed, wiping her nose. She had come here to find the All-Knowing Saintess.
But why couldn’t she find anyone?
She looked around and saw the clouds on the horizon stained red, as if a sun was rising.
The source of fear had been unleashed.
Suna immediately realized this fact and her heart started to sink. She had guessed that Ahtal was dead.
"Damn it, there’s no time to react!" she gritted her teeth and entered the Kingdom of Fenrir at full speed, informing the King of Fenrir about the source of fear, hoping the King of Fenrir would prepare early.
At this moment.
Right now.
Fenrir Kingdom.
King Aegus, with his fingers interlaced, sat calmly on his throne and listened carefully to the words of the Saintess of Destiny. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
He smiled.
"Do you think we have any chance to resist?"
Suna: "..."
Although she did not speak, her silence had already conveyed her thoughts. Even if the power of the Fenrir Kingdom was ten times stronger, it was unlikely to resist the source of fear.
And now there wasn’t time for the Fenrir Kingdom to prepare and evacuate.
"Can we request divine intervention?" the King of Fenrir tentatively pleaded, but saw the Saintess of Destiny turn her head away, quietly explaining:
"The source of fear comes from the God of Fear. Unless the God of Fear is killed, the source of fear is... undying."
Her eyes were downcast.
"Should we call upon the Witch of Death?" Aegus answered for Suna, waving his hand dismissively, his voice filled with helplessness, "Is this also part of the destiny drafted by the Three Goddesses of Fate?"
"No," Suna gave a definitive answer, turning her back to Aegus, and said, "I will find a way to steer destiny on the right path."
Her voice grew quieter.
"But not this time."
"I see." Aegus closed his eyes, listening to the sound of Suna’s departing footsteps, plunging into despair. He couldn’t think of...any way to save his kingdom, other than seeking divine intervention or the witch’s help.
Yet, the divine had already clearly refused to appear.
And seeking the witch’s help was a road of no return, potentially leading to everyone in the country being unable to descend to Hell.
The sky’s clouds grew redder.
The temperature soared.
The snow melted.
"Boom!" A spear fell from the sky—incandescent heavenly fire engulfed the entire Fenrir Kingdom, burning everyone to ash in an instant.
And they were all unaware of the reasons for their own deaths, just like someone walking by and getting their head split by lightning, or a sudden meteor that falls from the sky, dying without realizing it...
This destruction needed no reasons.
It was merely the source of fear passing by, detecting signs of life, hurling down a spear, casually erasing all traces of life.
