Chapter 527: Chapter 207: Gathering at Lionheart Castle_2

The Goddess of Plague fell into thought.

"If you don’t obey, then I will have no choice but to burn this world ahead of time," Xi Mu added.

Upon hearing this, the Goddess of Plague did not hesitate to agree, "Okay."

Though she did not know whether the King of Ash really intended to turn the world to ashes, she was unwilling to take that risk anyway.

Moreover, the King of Ash’s mention of wanting to reminisce might also be true, for, according to the Three Goddesses of Fate, she had met Ahtal before the time retrospection and had even bestowed blessings and precious items upon Ahtal.

It was also this action of hers that led to her being discovered by the Time Witch and the Witch of Death, which resulted in her assassination.

Now that everything had been reset in time, it was natural for Ahtal, transformed into the King of Ash, to want to reminisce with her.

"Then take her away," Xi Mu lay back, and seeing this, the Goddess of Plague hesitated for a moment, then got up and took the Goddess of Beauty and Art, who had turned into a statue.

A breeze swept through the room, and the windows closed with it.

Also, the rubies in Xi Mu’s eyes slowly faded. As long as he did not want others to remember him or recognize his identity, ordinary people could not remember him, not even the Monster Witch.

This was very similar to the methods used by the Time Witch, who could run around in the past without many people remembering her, using similar tactics.

Of course, this did not mean he would always hide his identity because he did not want to interfere with the growth of past heroes, and exposing his identity would attract too many intimately related people, putting him in an extremely difficult situation.

Therefore, he needed to stagger the timing of their meetings, allowing himself more maneuverability.

...

...

The next day.

The morning sun pierced through the clouds and fell upon the lake, looking like a shiny mirror.

"Did the Monster Witch leave?" Xi Mu stood at the edge of the lake, turned his head and asked the little mare beside him, "I thought she might want to stay with you a bit longer."

The little mare gently shook her head: "The Monster Witch, she plans to meet some other beings and also to unravel the ritual to revive the Monster Witch."

"Don’t you plan to spend more time with her?" Xi Mu sighed, explaining to the little mare, "The Monster Witch has just been resurrected, you must miss her, right?"

The little mare showed a troubled expression but still shook her head.

Now, she wanted to stay by Ahtal’s side more; after finally being able to reunite, she was reluctant to leave.

However, she indeed also thought about staying by the Monster Witch’s side.

"Partner, we will have much time in the future," Xi Mu chuckled lightly and stroked the little mare’s face, "But the Monster Witch has only just resurrected and is unfamiliar with this world, letting her roam it alone is not something for a good child."

"Hmm," the little mare hesitated then hugged Ahtal before chasing after the direction the Monster Witch had left.

With her speed, she could come and go at any time, now accompanying the Monster Witch to familiarize herself with the world wasn’t a problem.

Xi Mu withdrew his gaze, looking towards the large tree beside the lake, and saw the Goddess of Plague, wearing a white dress and a beret, emerge from behind the tree.

...

...

The dueling arena.

Before the duel was about to begin.

"This duel is going to be interesting," the Goddess of Plague smoothed her dress and sat down, her eyes landing on Ahtal beside her, handing him a bag of biscuits she had bought.

Xi Mu took it, picking a biscuit and biting into it.

"A duel between Hero Ahtal and Greis, isn’t that something you’re looking forward to?" The Goddess of Plague smiled radiantly, watching Ahtal’s astonished expression, "Lately, more than one man claiming to be Ahtal has emerged."

"It does sound quite interesting," Xi Mu showed no trace of anger on his face, scanning the spectators who all seemed very eager, though their anticipation mingled with a sense of amusement.

Clearly, they also did not believe the man about to duel was Ahtal himself.

"I thought you would be a bit displeased," the Goddess of Plague said so, and then saw Ahtal hand the biscuit bag in front of her.

She took out a biscuit and ate it.

"They are trying to steal your identity after all."

"Isn’t that quite interesting?" Xi Mu focused on the spectators, just as Greis emerged from them, facing another man in silver armor who stepped out firmly.

"Go for it, if you can beat me, I’ll believe you’re Ahtal," yelled a burly man from the spectator stands:

"If you win, I’ll give you 100,000 Gold Coins tonight."

"Don’t get so scared you wet your pants!" someone jeered, scornful of the man in silver armor in the dueling arena, who tried to gain fame and wealth by disguising himself as someone else and mimicking others’ deeds.

Yet, whether it was mockery or ridicule,

the man in the silver armor in the arena remained unfazed, gripping his greatsword and cautiously moving towards his opponent.

No matter the taunts, if he could replicate Ahtal’s miracles, he would gain unimaginable wealth and renown, enough to bet his entire life on it, regardless of what the real Ahtal might think.

After all, that was something that would happen in the future, and right now, no one knew where the real Ahtal was.

"Foolish guy," Greis commented as his muscles began to swell, unclear who the opponent was, but that man, unable to hide the fear in his eyes.
