After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 319 - 115 Host, I can sense the presence of a high-quality witch!
"Before I answer that question," a Black Dragon emerged, its massive body blocking the sunlight and casting a shadow over Ahtal and the white-haired Lolita.
He lowered his head, gazing intently at the humans before him.
"You are an enemy of the Dragon Kingdom, are you not?"
"Of course." Xi Mu sized up the dragons encircling him, noting that their gazes did not carry deep hostility, but rather a sense of anticipation.
He casually flicked the Great Sword of Death.
"The scent of the Dragon’s Curse on me should be quite clear, right?"
"Very clear!" The Black Dragon bared its ferocious teeth, and its breath grew more turbulent, "Ahtal, how about we make a deal?"
Xi Mu smiled, "I’ll give you a few moments to speak."
"..." The Black Dragon turned its malevolent gaze upon the white-haired Lolita, not particularly caring about the beloved Dragon Princess, adorable though she was. To him, her cuteness was merely that—cuteness.
When it came to freedom, cuteness was trivial.
"You kill Evelyn yourself, and all of us dragons will swear loyalty to you, acknowledging you as the Dragon King, how’s that?"
After being released from prison, they had received a mission: if they could kill the world’s most renowned hero, they would be granted maximum sentence reduction, from life imprisonment to just nine thousand years.
Whether they could survive nine thousand years was one question; when they emerged nine thousand years later, they’d be old dragons with little energy to pursue their own affairs.
So, after learning about Ahtal’s information, they easily reached a consensus to betray the Dragon Kingdom and join the Church of Death led by the Witch of Death behind Ahtal, becoming unbridled cultists.
But before that, they needed to confirm one thing—that Ahtal truly had no association with the Dragon Kingdom, otherwise their defection would not be peaceful.
What Ahtal needed to do was to strangle the adorable Dragon Princess in his arms to death, definitively opposing the Dragon Kingdom.
Only then would they confidently follow Ahtal.
"..." Xi Mu fell silent for a moment, locking eyes with the white-haired Lolita who happened to look up at him. The white-haired Lolita in his arms was soft to the touch, and her delicate cheeks were exceedingly cute and beautiful, evoking a sense of tenderness in anyone who looked at her.
"With more than ninety powerful evil dragons joining the Church of Death, it would be a considerable boost."
His gaze turned cold.
"To accomplish the upheaval of the world, one cannot be swayed by beauty."
From a purely profit-driven perspective, strangling the white-haired Lolita in his arms to exchange for the support of ninety powerful evil dragons was a surefire deal.
With power and forces behind him, why worry about lacking beauties, rare though a beauty like the white-haired Lolita might be? 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
However, she could not be allowed to hinder his great achievement.
"..." The white-haired Lolita remained silent, her gaze calm as she looked steadily at Ahtal, quietly watching the man threatening her.
She was neither cowardly nor indecisive; on the contrary, she had an abundance of knowledge and could tell at a glance that Ahtal had no intention of killing her.
Otherwise, Ahtal would have taken action without hesitation at this moment.
"Unfortunately, I have already promised to retrieve your soul from Hell." Xi Mu raised his hand to touch the white-haired Lolita’s cheek, then dismounted and walked towards the evil dragons.
"Partner, take her away from here."
"..." The little mare’s hooves scuffed the ground as she gazed at Ahtal’s reliable and determined figure, rolling her eyes involuntarily.
She wasn’t at all concerned about Ahtal’s safety.
But the white-haired Lolita expressed a look of worry, clenching her small fists against her chest, took a deep breath, and said:
"Ahtal, be careful." As soon as her words fell, the little mare carrying her set off, vanishing on the spot like lightning, her speed rivaling that of the Thunder Dragon King. In the blink of an eye, she had disappeared from view, completely gone.
"Alright, now it’s our battle." Xi Mu withdrew his gaze, turning to the evil dragons with a smile that was both anticipatory and bloodthirsty.
The leading Black Dragon fell silent at this, then asked, "For the sake of a woman, to forsake the loyalty of ninety evil dragons, are you in your right mind, Ahtal?"
He exhaled sparks with his breath.
"Or could it be that you stand with the Dragon Kingdom all along?"
"Ha! You’re only worth being slaughtered by me." Xi Mu scoffed, the Great Sword of Death in his hand igniting with flames, waiting for the evil dragons opposite him to show their full strength.
"Manifest to me!" The leading Black Dragon roared to the sky, the strong magic power emanating from it turning into a fierce wind, his body undergoing a tremendous transformation, with more heads sprouting from its back and its size rapidly changing.
And it wasn’t just the leading Black Dragon changing; the other ninety-odd evil dragons also underwent great changes, turning into various grotesque creatures as if the Monster Witch had exercised her power over them.
Xi Mu looked up at the nearly hundred monsters surrounding him, did not hesitate to draw his sword and slash the darkness with the Great Sword of Death, sending the Flames of a Thousand Deaths swirling with the blade and forming a crescent moon in the air, cleaving the leading Black Dragon in two.
"Hahaha... Don’t disappoint me!" His laughter echoed across the battlefield. Xi Mu somersaulted in the air, wheeling the Great Sword of Death to release a black crescent that severed the neck of a nearby snarling evil dragon.
