After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 533 - 210: Meeting

"It’s more accurate to say I don’t want the chips to go to waste," a pleasant female voice spread across the duel arena, making everyone present realize the situation had become even more dangerous.

If the followers of the Dusk Cult still had any room to resist, then facing a witch basically left them with no possibility of resistance.

Everyone was a lamb to the slaughter.

"Goddess of Plague, do you think they are enough to serve as chips?" The moment the words were spoken, the atmosphere in the duel arena became tense, and people started to size each other up subconsciously, as if trying to find the Goddess of Plague hiding within.

"This city really is plagued with disaster," the white-haired Lolita said softly, retaining her memories from before the Time Retrospection. She knew that Lionheart Castle was destroyed because of the death of the Goddess of Plague.

Now, there were signs of this event repeating itself.

"Princess, we will take you away from Lionheart Castle in a moment," the dragon guard said quietly next to her, watching the sky with wary wine-red eyes.

"Don’t act rashly," the white-haired Lolita murmured. If they tried to escape now, it would be very easy to attract the witch’s attack.

Doing nothing now was actually the safest course of action.

And just then.

"If the Goddess of Plague isn’t in the duel arena," an elder who wasn’t afraid to die stepped forward, addressing the witch with a question, "then killing us would be meaningless."

"No, you should be praying that the Goddess of Plague is here," the witch responded, "otherwise, you will all die here."

"..."

The expression of the elder who had raised the question froze; he then sat down powerlessly, realizing the cruelty of the witch—if the Goddess of Plague was not in the arena, the witch might indeed casually kill them all.

To stay alive, they had to pray that the Goddess of Plague was really in the arena.

"I will negotiate later," Shark Girl Kaschte turned her head and explained to Letixia beside her, "With the protection of the Witch of Death, ordinary witches shouldn’t easily kill us."

"Mhm," Letixia subconsciously gripped the Sword of Light in her hand, seemingly seeking some reassurance from it. Now that the King of Ash was Ahtal, this meant that the power contained within the Sword of Light was connected to Ahtal.

Then she noticed something was off.

Perhaps influenced by the Sword of Light, she seemed to see Ahtal sitting in the stands, being fed cookies by a black-haired girl.

"It would have been bad if we hadn’t known about the situation in advance," the Goddess of Plague retracted her hand and looked at Ahtal, who was munching cookies, with a smile. She then handed over the cookie bag on her lap to the Ahtal beside her.

"Let me handle what comes next," she said, turning into a black breeze and vanishing on the spot, her figure emerging in the middle of the duel arena.

If she hadn’t known the relevant information, she would indeed have been very passive, but now the one who should be passive was the Avatar Witch.

"Using me to spread the plague and thereby screen for suitable avatars across the world," the Goddess of Plague challenged the sky with wine-red eyes, "that’s your reason for wanting to capture me, isn’t it?"

"Was it the Three Goddesses of Fate who gave you the prophecy?" Suspicion appeared in the wine-red eyes in the sky, followed by a pleasant laugh.

"It seems I am your prey."

"What do you plan to do next?" The Goddess of Plague turned around to face the girl who appeared behind her. She wore an elaborate Lolita gown, her skin so pale it seemed untouched by sunlight, her smile bewitching yet dangerous.

The real body of the Avatar Witch... No, this was still an avatar; her real body was hidden away and had never shown herself from the beginning.

"Of course, I want to see what preparations you have made," the Avatar Witch said with a broad smile. Then, with a wave of her hand, she set off a windstorm that became a tempest sweeping toward the stands, menacing enough to cause severe casualties.

"Turn it around." A calm male voice came from nowhere, and all the people in the stands suddenly vanished. The duel arena fell abruptly silent.

What happened?

Letixia’s gaze shimmered with confusion as she realized that both the Goddess of Plague and the witch had disappeared, as if everything before had been an illusion.

But she quickly came to her senses, her eyes locking onto Ahtal, who had stood up and was walking toward the outside of the arena.

Without a second thought,

Letixia immediately stood and chased in the direction of Ahtal, and her action, like a signal, seemed to awaken everyone in the stands as they began to flee, the crowd surging and engulfing everything.

"Letixia, don’t hurry," Shark Girl Kaschte chased after her, looking at the anxious Letixia and saying, "I can get you out of here safely."

"Kaschte, fly me up to the sky," Letixia quickly grasped Shark Girl Kaschte’s wrist, "I think I saw him, right beside the Goddess of Plague!"

"Who is ’he’?" Shark Girl Kaschte was momentarily stunned, but seeing the urgency in Letixia’s green eyes, she immediately understood that the ’he’ Letixia referred to could only be Lord Ahtal, the one who could cause such urgency in Letixia.

She quickly pulled Letixia’s wrist and flew up into the sky, starting to search among the crowd, even though she didn’t think Lord Ahtal would be present here.

It was more likely that in the crowded throng, there was someone who looked like Lord Ahtal, causing Letixia to mistake them for him.

However, she understood Letixia’s anxious state of mind.

After a while,

Outside the duel arena.

"How about we just leave Lionheart Castle first?" Shark Girl Kaschte looked at the deserted square and said, "Even though that witch has been ambushed by All Gods, we are Cultists too, staying with All Gods..."
