After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 47 - 29 Preparing to Slay the Dragon_2

"Humans, did you know they have been eating people?"

"I know a little about Astrology." Xi Mu casually explained, and the Witch of Death didn’t ask further. Whatever secrets this man was hiding didn’t matter.

After all, it had nothing to do with her. The only thing worth caring about in this world was taking revenge on those gods.

"Come and receive the Protection." Her voice was calm, and then Xi Mu willingly took off his armor, exposing his upper body.

Why did it feel like this man had received the Protection of Death many times before?

Xi Mu approached the Witch of Death and let her draw a rune on his chest, following her finger’s final trace across his skin.

The Witch of Death scrutinized the peculiar human before her and then vanished on the spot in a ghostly blue flame, along with the corpses of the dead nobles.

The upgrade of the Power of Death was complete.

Xi Mu touched the rune on his chest and put his armor back on. If his Power of Death had previously only been able to weaken others’ health regeneration and slightly reduce the health limit,

Now, a single slash could significantly reduce the enemy’s health limit. If he continued to upgrade the Power of Death, he could also greatly weaken the enemy’s defenses, achieving the effect of breaking the defense with every strike. As he continued to upgrade,

He could even impose the concept of death on beings that originally had no concept of death.

However, since upgrading the Power of Death required increasing the Witch of Death’s favorability to a certain level, and her favorability was difficult to raise,

It was unlikely to be filled in a short period of time.

"After this, you are free." Xi Mu turned and explained to the terrified girls, "You can choose to sue in court, or you can choose to escape."

His voice suddenly turned colder.

"But whether the court will trust you, and whether those guys behind the scenes will try to eliminate you, that’s another matter," he said, then climbed out the window, and vanished into the night.

The surviving girls looked at each other, discussed briefly, and swiftly reached a consensus: to first hide their tracks before finding a way to escape Sky City.

As for revenge, they didn’t dare to think about it—they had no one to help them, neither the guards nor the courts would take their side.

The result of resistance would only be a quicker death.

Not to mention, they were not residents of Sky City but a group who had smuggled themselves in.

The law would not protect them.

...

...

Soon after,

Xi Mu walked alone in the park, sitting on a bench as if waiting for someone.

All his actions now revolved around slaying a dragon, whether it was receiving further Protection from the Witch of Death,

Or waiting for the upcoming NPC.

After all, with his current level, he was unable to break even the defense of a dragon, although the dragon had been weakened by a curse to a certain extent, he still couldn’t breach its defense.

Therefore, he must find all possible means to weaken the cursed defense, creating the conditions that would even allow him to kill a dragon.

"Human, you carry the scent of a witch." An icy male voice emerged from the shadows, an intangible sense of terror twisting the park, making the misty moonlight turn ghastly pale, and the trees around him twisted, growing human faces while their branches turned into dry arms stretching towards Xi Mu on the bench.

The eerie sense of horror was suffocating.

"After all, I am favored by the Witch of Death," Xi Mu responded calmly, making no secret of the fact that he had received the Witch’s Protection.

As he finished speaking, the immense sense of terror vanished, and the surroundings returned to normal. A man clad in a coat emerged from the shadows,

He walked over to Xi Mu with a cigarette in his mouth, sat next to him, and lifted his hat, revealing the face of a weathered middle-aged man.

"Siegfried’s disciple, the genius who could extract Magic Power in just one day, a follower of the Goddess of Life," the man chuckled softly.

"Why would someone like you become a follower of a witch?"

"Is there any contradiction?" Xi Mu countered, "One is a Witch, and one is a goddess, but aren’t they both very charming ladies, no?"

He... made a good point. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Suddenly the man didn’t know how to respond; although he was also a follower of the witch, he couldn’t deny the truth about his capacity to appreciate beauty.

And there was no doubt that both the Witch of Death and the Goddess of Life were beauties.

"So you believe in the Goddess of Life and also worship the Witch?" he covered his forehead, looking up at the moon.

"I thought I was abnormal, but now I feel like a normal person."

"If you just want to discuss what it means to be a normal person," Xi Mu responded placidly, "then maybe I should leave."

"It’s you who’s being outrageous," the man couldn’t help but complain; the person beside him could believe in the goddess while also being a follower of a witch.

There was no clear stance at all.

But Xi Mu simply scoffed at the man’s comments; what kind of game player couldn’t like both the game’s villains and the heroes.

If it weren’t for Mysterious Gate not being a romance game, he would gladly pursue both the goddess and the witch.

How could he possibly like one but not the other?

"Forget it, if I dwell on this issue, I might... become abnormal too." Shaking his head, the man turned to Xi Mu and asked, "Did the Witch tell you something?"
