After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 471 - 182: The Only King of Ash

"Lost?" The God of Seals widened his eyes, gazing as Surter swung his burning Flame Spear, launching a relentless volley of strikes that completely overwhelmed Ahtal. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"It’s our turn to fight now," he stood up, even though he knew he was no match for the Flame Giant Surter.

But he had to buy time for the God of Omniscience to break the seal.

"It’s not over yet," the extraterritorial demon shook his head, eyes fixed on Surter as he swung his spear. If Ahtal had been slain, then Surter should have stopped swinging. But in reality, Surter did not stop; his strikes became even more fierce, as if Ahtal was still alive.

"Boom!" A fiery Dragon Breath erupted, instantly engulfing Surter, who was swinging his spear. Though he cut through it in a moment, it was enough to turn the tide of battle.

Xi Mu stepped out from the flames, casually discarding the Flame Spear. His body remained intact, and even the faint scars began to disappear swiftly.

Theoretically, the moment he was cut in half, he should have been burnt to ashes, not to mention the many strikes Surter added afterward.

"Is that the advanced use of Ash Fire?" He flexed his wrist, flipping the Great Sword of Death in his hand, "It’s quite an unexpected way to use it."

Surter: "..."

This guy had deployed the Realm of Life, enduring his strikes with an almost unkillable vitality; otherwise, the fight should have ended with the first strike.

This level of vitality had even reached the level of the Goddess of Life’s consort.

"You seem surprised?" Xi Mu casually discarded the Flame Spear, stepping towards Surter, "Come on, let’s hack at each other."

Since Surter possessed the ability to hit unerringly and had advanced use of Ash Fire, along with the ability to move at will, it was time to adjust his battle strategy.

Fight in the most mindless way possible, as long as my hit points and recovery speed are fast enough, I can’t be killed.

This is a combat method well-regarded by gamers with poor hand skills.

...

...

Meanwhile.

Elsewhere.

The Witch of Death glanced at the smiling Goddess of Life beside her, who seemed quite pleased with Ahtal’s use of the Realm of Life.

"What’s up?" The Goddess of Life’s smile was gentle, meeting the cold gaze of the Witch of Death, as she lightly brushed her hair behind her ear, "Deploying the Realm of Life to increase one’s margin of error is currently the most suitable method."

"Even without deploying the Realm of Life, Ahtal could win," the Witch of Death commented coolly. Although it sounded like a grassy statement, it was her judgement after thoroughly understanding Ahtal.

"Yes, I believe so too," the Goddess of Life nodded smiling, her beautiful eyes reflecting the brutal battle, with her power’s Realm of Life ensuring Ahtal would survive, provided that the magic power did not run out.

...

...

Blood splattered.

A hot flame strike cleaved through Ahtal’s shoulder, only to heal instantly, having no effect on him whatsoever.

This was the best approach for gamers with poor hand skills, not requiring techniques like the Witch of Death; even without any combat skills, an incomparable hit point ceiling and healing rate are enough to face most enemies.

This was also part of why the Goddess of Life was so popular; she was truly friendly to most players and the easiest growth path to access.

Not only are churches widespread around the world, making it difficult for players not to come into contact with the Goddess of Life, but if a player became a follower of the Goddess of Life, they’d find they could rely on their health bar to brawl, gaining more space to hone their skills.

This indirectly led many players to become nominal followers of the Goddess of Life, thereby significantly boosting her popularity.

"Come on, hurry up, or I’ll be fully healed again soon," Xi Mu laughed wildly, dodging incoming strikes while his figure flashed like lightning, swiftly advancing without any regard for sophisticated combat skills, slashing at the Flame Giant Surter.

This reckless fighting style, in fact, led to an interesting outcome, as the Flame Giant Surter dared not engage Ahtal directly. When Ahtal approached slightly, Surter immediately chose to teleport away, using distant attacks to continuously wear down Ahtal’s health bar.

What an annoying guy.

This thought bubbled up in Surter’s mind; as a being of emotionless flame, even he was slightly annoyed by Ahtal’s undying form, despite being very clear in his mind that Ahtal’s magic power was insufficient to sustain this immortality for long, yet he still couldn’t weaken Ahtal with each strike.

This indeed was very irritating.

This annoyance drove him to change his combat method, adding another property of Ash Fire to his blade.

With a gentle swing, an almost unavoidable light-speed strike occurred, instantly engulfing Ahtal’s body.

This was another advanced use of Ash Fire, transforming into an almost unavoidable light-speed strike that would inevitably hit once swung.

At the same time, he added the attribute of burning out within the light strike.

"Is this what it means to be an omnipotent powerhouse?" Xi Mu flipped over, his charred face peeling away, revealing an unscathed body.

He flicked the Great Sword of Death:

"Merging two properties together, that’s indeed troublesome."
