After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 259 - 90 Fallen Hero_2

"You didn’t use to harm the innocent,"

"It doesn’t matter anymore," Xi Mu, holding the nun by her wrist, gradually increased his grip, and the madness burning in his pupils grew more intense, "In the future, I’ll find a way to exterminate all the followers of the Dusk Cult, and kill the Flame Giant Surter along with them."

His skin began to redden as if turning into hot coals.

"All of you can go to hell." As soon as he finished speaking, he released a scorching Flame of Destruction from his palm, which incinerated the nun into ashes.

Then he brought his hands together, and his shadow began to extend, sprouting Miss Black Blade and another version of himself; afterward, the three of them began a massacre in different directions.

Perhaps to make the deception more convincing, so that he wouldn’t suspect Letixia was an impostor, the Dusk Cult had sent a large number of cultists to the Fenrir Kingdom.

"Boom!" The intense flames were like a breaching dam, surging into the alley and engulfing several followers of the Dusk Cult who couldn’t escape in time, instantly turning them to ashes.

And in the midst of the sea of fire.

"Ahtal, you... have gone mad," the red-haired dwarf said with a grave expression as he stepped out, facing Ahtal who was now beyond caring, and headache began to set in.

This unrestrained man was now extremely difficult to threaten, harboring intense malice toward the followers of the Dusk Cult.

In response.

"I am perfectly calm," Xi Mu raised his hand and swept back the black hair on his forehead, fire flickering between his teeth. Just as the red-haired dwarf dove to the side, a searing Dragon Breath shot through, piercing the Fenrir Royal City.

"That’s not necessarily true," a flippant male voice came through; Maqilizor approached with a challenging smile.

"But we can send you to meet Letixia."

He turned his head towards the distance.

"Right?" After the question was asked, the ground began to tremble as if it were about to collapse, and a magma giant emerged.

"Since we can’t complete the deal, we’ll just have to take it by force." The red-haired dwarf, who had dodged the Dragon Breath, also came forward, joining Maqilizor and the magma giant to encircle Ahtal.

"As a hero, you shouldn’t be afraid of our Cult’s assault," Maqilizor laughed, his shadow stretching behind him and forming a large gate from which summons began to emerge.

"It’s us who should be besieging you," Xi Mu sneered, and together with his doppelgänger and Miss Black Blade, they launched an attack.

"It looks like I’m going to die again," Suna muttered under her breath. Given Ahtal’s current mental state, unless she undergoes a return from death, Ahtal could turn into another wandering calamity, making the dire situation even worse.

In response, the Red Dragon King nearby showed an intrigued expression: "Going to die again, isn’t this the first time for the Holy Lady?"

"Yes," Suna said in resignation, tilting her pale neck, "Come on... do it, kill me."

She explained.

"After dying, I can return to twenty-four hours before."

"I see," the Red Dragon King said, understanding as he smacked his palm, "But returning from death must come at a price, right?"

He sincerely suggested.

"Why not try and persuade Ahtal? Maybe you can calm him down?"

"It’s too late," Suna said with a twitch of her mouth, pointing towards Fenrir Royal City, "Ahtal knows about my ability. Once he kills the high ranks of the Dusk Cult, he’ll definitely come for me too."

She didn’t want to reveal her power because someone might see her as a do-over drug, a way to reverse some regret, and would go after her life.

Given Ahtal’s current state, he would surely try to kill her to change the past.

"How do you know if you don’t try?" the Red Dragon King persuaded further, adding, "What if Ahtal’s relationship with Letixia isn’t as good as it seems?"

Suna shook her head, "After such severe slaughter, there’s no way back for Ahtal."

"Impossible," the Red Dragon King said, waving his hand dismissively and casually explaining, "Public opinion is very easy to manipulate. After the fact, we just need to blame it on the Dusk Cult. We’ll say that Ahtal tried his best to save the people of the Fenrir Kingdom but simply couldn’t do it in time."

He stated the cold hard truth.

"Afterwards, everyone will only admire Ahtal even more, and they’ll even thank him,"

Suna: "..."

"Have you forgotten about Ahtal’s teacher?" The Red Dragon King stroked his chin, thinking Suna might not understand his point.

"The populace is very easy to fool. As long as ’Hecate’ is willing to act, guiding the bards to invent false stories, then Ahtal remains a hero. Even if Ahtal did wrong, people would still see him as a hero."

He spoke jokingly.

"Right now, Ahtal has the backing of two powerful nations and plenty of resources. Even if he raped the princess of the Fenrir Kingdom, afterward it could be spun as a mutual passion,"

"And if the princess of the Fenrir Kingdom contests it, it could be said that upon her unsuccessful seduction, she turned around and slandered Ahtal."

"So don’t worry about Ahtal losing the name of a hero."

Suna: "..."

Despite her desire to deny it, she knew this was the truth. As long as the cleanup was thorough, Ahtal’s blemishes could be erased in the follow-up.

Sometimes, to a certain extent, even if Ahtal doesn’t care about being a hero, others will endeavor to justify for him,

To drape Ahtal in a sacred aura.

Just as an incompetent king is often seen by the people as being blinded by treacherous ministers, causing the downfall of the nation, and that removing the ministers would make everything right again.
