After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 303 - 108: Breaking into the Dragon’s Tomb_3
"Of course, I’ll go see the demon with you," White-haired Lolita replied without hesitation. Since Ahtal had done so much for her, she naturally couldn’t let Ahtal face it alone.
Moreover, asking her father for the truth would only add to his troubles; it was better to let him think she didn’t know the truth.
"Is that so?" Xi Mu smiled, summoned a little mare, leapt onto its back, and reached out his hand to White-haired Lolita, pulling her into his arms.
Then they set off toward the Dragon Tomb.
...
...
Dragon Tomb.
In the eyes of the outside world, it was a cemetery exclusive to giant dragons, but not just anyone could enter; one must have faith in specific gods to gain entry.
Otherwise, one would have to search for the cemetery on their own.
The dragons that could enter the Dragon Tomb didn’t descend to Hell; instead, their souls could forever serve the gods, which is why some said that the Dragon Tomb was divine.
The mare’s hooves trod across, floating past clouds, leaving hoofprints behind. From below, it appeared as if the clouds were pierced by some mysterious force, expanding into hoofprints, yet no creature was seen passing through.
Some time later,
The little mare stopped at the corner of a peak, looking ahead at a sacred structure with several high towers standing amid the clouds, as if they were swords piercing the sky.
Compared to the Temple of Plague, the Dragon Tomb was many times more magnificent.
It was truly the architecture of the world’s most powerful nation.
"Partner, just charge in," Xi Mu leaned down, whispering to the little mare, "Normal means won’t work, but if we catch the guards off-guard, there won’t be any problems."
Following the normal procedure, he would have to take White-haired Lolita to meet the White Dragon King, exchange a bunch of unnecessary pleasantries, and then receive the Dragon King’s special permission to enter the Dragon Tomb, but that was simply too much trouble.
Contrary to what people imagined, the White Dragon King was actually a hesitant dragon, and without being sure of the players’ intentions toward White-haired Lolita and their potential danger, he would not easily allow players to bring White-haired Lolita into the Dragon Tomb.
But as long as they ran fast enough and charged directly into the Dragon Tomb, they could skip the interaction process. As for the chaos that would erupt from breaching the tomb, the protective White Dragon King and the background demon would find ways to resolve it.
"Isn’t this a bit too much?" White-haired Lolita whispered nervously. She felt that charging directly into the Dragon Tomb was a very dangerous thing, as gods occasionally wandered within.
The little mare felt the same way, scraping the ground with her hoof, locking eyes with Ahtal, and realizing from Ahtal’s serious gaze.
The two exchanged a glance.
"Don’t worry, fate is on my side," Xi Mu said with a confident smile while the little mare fell silent for a moment and scraped the ground forcefully with her hoof, then suddenly stomped the ground, accompanied by an explosion of air and Lolita’s screaming. Like lightning, it charged towards the open gates of the Dragon Tomb.
"Wait, who dares to trespass...!" The guard dragon at the gate opened its mouth, about to spew Dragon Breath.
However, the lightning-like figure had already disappeared, leaving only the swirling wind blowing across its body.
"An intruder!" The nearby giant dragon realized, roared in anger, its dragon wings flapping as it turned and rushed into the Dragon Tomb.
Meanwhile, a multitude of giant dragons flew from the horizon toward the Dragon Tomb to provide support.
Simultaneously,
Inside the Dragon Tomb, a long and ancient stone path stretched to the edge of sight. Large humanoid statues stood along both sides of the road, which began to tremble, raising the large bows in their hands, aiming at the distant intruders.
However, before they could shoot their arrows, ink-like black flames sliced through their heads.
"Who exactly is this intruder?" The pursuing giant dragon, noticing the damaged statues along the way, flapped its wings even harder.
And on the other side...
"Calm down!" White-haired Lolita cried anxiously, turning around to hug the frenzied Ahtal, trying to stop him from going on a killing spree.
"These statues are very valuable and expensive!"
"If we don’t strike them down, we’ll be shot by arrows," Xi Mu explained, one hand on the Great Sword of Death and the other holding the Sword of Light, his chest embracing an anxious White-haired Lolita, whose soft body conveyed a very soft touch.
"It’ll be indefensible if we cut them down!" White-haired Lolita was almost ready to cry; she completely failed to understand Ahtal’s logic — Ahtal had been such a calm man before, so why had he suddenly turned into a combat fanatic?
"No, this way it actually will make sense," Xi Mu explained briefly, making White-haired Lolita even more confused.
Xi Mu didn’t intend to elaborate further.
"How could this possibly make...!" Before she finished, White-haired Lolita found her surroundings had changed dramatically, finding herself in a completely unfamiliar place.
What met her eyes were mountains of bones, the remains of dead dragons.
"Quite an unexpected reaction?" a puzzled voice came from not far away, and White-haired Lolita looked in the direction of the voice to see a man, elegantly floating midair, dressed in a magic robe and wearing a monocle.
"Ahtal, did Sulter’s fire burn your brain?" the man asked in puzzlement; he simply couldn’t grasp Ahtal’s chain of thoughts, wondering why he had to choose the most drastic method to meet when there were better ways.
"Fate told me, this was the most convenient choice," Xi Mu casually blamed it on fate, given that he had the teachings of the Fate Prayer from his teacher Hecate, granting him considerable authority to interpret, so when it comes to any unreasonable behavior, just blame fate.
"I had no idea you were a follower of the Three Goddesses of Fate," the man said, his tone overly calm, and Xi Mu just smiled and said:
"You were originally planning to test my abilities, right?"
The man fell silent.
Ever since he found out Ahtal wanted to meet him, he had wanted to test Ahtal’s abilities, to see if this genius had the potential to become a Demon and incidentally establish a connection with the Witch of Death through Ahtal.
And now his actions seemed to have been anticipated.
"If you want to test me, just do it openly," Xi Mu said, smiling as he casually swung the Great Sword of Death," setting up a trap and laying various pitfalls is just too boring, just send someone to fight me outright."
He addressed the Negation Demon in front of him.
"Don’t disappoint me, not only do I want to test you, but I also want to see if you can hold your own against Lady Witch of Death."
"Human, you sure have the guts to say that," the Negation Demon laughed, but his attitude indeed changed, this human was not quite what he had expected.
Xi Mu dismounted, took the White-haired Lolita from his embrace, and then said to the Negation Demon:
"Come on, I can hardly wait to start slaughtering."
Negation Demon: "..."
This human’s thought process is really strange.
But he only pondered this.
"Snap." The sound of a snap echoed, and the dragon skeletons on the ground stirred, their pupils emitting a ghostly blue flame.
Start slashing.
Xi Mu wasted no words, pushed off the ground with his feet with force, his body shooting out like a bullet, slicing through the nearest Bone Dragon’s skull with his sword.
Then his body flipped in the air, landing on the falling skull of the Bone Dragon, scanning the surrounding Bone Dragons attacking him.
The black flames on his Great Sword of Death burnt even more intensely.
