After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 464 - 178: Spear of Destiny_3

Should she tell Ahtal about the method to sneak into the sealed land with the secret?

"You have survived numerous times at the hands of Ahtal," the blindfolded nun squatted down, caressed the dwarf girl’s head, revealing a gentle smile, "This is the destiny guided by Ragnarok. Otherwise, why do you think you’re so lucky to have survived?"

It made a lot of sense indeed.

The dwarfling felt she couldn’t refute it. She had been courting death in front of Ahtal yet never died; even after kidnapping Ahtal’s lover, she had managed to come out alive. To explain this using destiny seemed plausible.

"Could it be that my destiny is to help Ahtal contend for the King of Ash?" she fell into self-doubt.

Perhaps this was the destiny Ragnarok had guided her to.

"Whether or not you believe it is up to you," the blindfolded nun said calmly, "However, Ahtal entering the seal has no downside for you. If Ahtal dies in battle, then you can consider that revenge has been achieved."

The dwarfling realized, "If Ahtal successfully becomes the King of Ash, then I would also be following the guidance of destiny."

"That depends on whether you want to believe it’s the guidance of fate," the nun’s voice was gentle, "At least from what I have observed, that is how destiny guides us. It is also why I suggested to Lord Ahtal to find you."

After a moment of thought, with arms crossed, the dwarfling declared, "Since Ahtal is seeking death anyway, I don’t mind sending him off to meet the Flame Giant Surter." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

And at that very moment,

Ahtal came out, giving a helpless shake of his head under the gaze of both the blindfolded nun and the dwarfling, "There is an even more troublesome fellow inside. In the Almighty Realm, I have no way to break the seals set by the God of Seals."

"Hmph, so there comes a time when even demons encounter things they can’t do," the dwarfling huffed, "Then let’s see how a mere mortal surpasses the barriers of gods."

"Then I’ll leave it to you," Xi Mu kept his smile, not minding flattering the dwarfling, "Show me the means that exceed those of a demon."

"Long ago, we anticipated that one day the All Gods would strengthen the seals." The dwarfling pulled out a dagger, slicing her palm open and smearing her blood in the air.

Indeed, as if there was an invisible mirror in the air, her blood freely smeared upon it until a hole appeared.

"The Road of Nowhere," the dwarfling explained to Ahtal while smearing blood into the hole in the air, "This is a nonexistent path created by my great-grandfather using his power, and only those with my great-grandfather’s blood can open it. This hole can only be used once, and after entering, you can’t come out."

She retracted her hand and addressed Ahtal.

"There’s still time to escape if you want."

"That means you have no more value to me now," Xi Mu’s gaze suddenly turned dangerous, "Killing you shouldn’t matter, right?"

The dwarfling was momentarily taken aback, then gritted her teeth and retorted, "Hmph, do you think I’m afraid of death?"

"..." Xi Mu drew the Sword of Light, and then turned his back on the dwarfling’s defiant gaze to step into the void.

The dwarfling did not have enough experience to be worth his effort.

She had been played.

The dwarfling realized this at once; perhaps Ahtal had never intended to kill her from the start, simply wanting to see her angry and unwilling expression.

"Damn it, die, you bad guy!" She stamped her foot in anger, venting her dissatisfaction, and immediately bolted back the way she came.

If she didn’t run now, soon she’d be turned to ashes.
