After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 88 - 9 The Origin Soul_2

Although it was just a remote small country, it might not even compare to a single school in the Magic Kingdom.

But it was a country, nonetheless.

"If you give up, we will also retreat," Granny Saisi suddenly spoke up. She seemed to lack a strong desire to help Hecate, her main purpose for being here was because of the Witch of Death’s command.

If Xi Mu was unwilling to help Hecate, then there was naturally no need for them to stay, and they could retreat right now.

"It’s always better to avoid a fight if possible," Martha said indifferently. She was just a spy lurking among the cultists.

However, if Xi Mu gave up, then she would not be able to complete the mission from the higher-ups.

"Execute the plan, block the four doors of the library," Xi Mu responded, his Hunting King’s Greatsword slashing out, the black flames turning into a crescent moon in the air.

Seeing this, the fourth Prince also gave up on persuasion and decisively drew his Knight’s sword to block Xi Mu’s strike.

"Then we have no choice but to fight," Martha sighed with resignation, turning to look at the soldiers pouring out from all directions.

Then, with a push from her feet, she rushed towards the approaching soldiers, grabbing the face of a nearby soldier with her gloved hand, flinging him at the others as if throwing a bowling ball.

The soldiers who hadn’t yet closed in were sent flying in all directions, much like struck bowling pins.

This sudden strike, whether intentional or not, didn’t kill anyone; it only knocked the soldiers away or knocked them out.

"I’ll take the west gate," the Bloody Countess said with a coquettish smile, transforming into a bat and disappearing on the spot, while Jack the Berserker did not speak. His hands gripping four daggers, he turned into a ruthless killing machine and ran in another direction.

"I’m too old for this, can’t run," Granny Saisi chuckled, looking over at Alistair who was toying with playing cards, and smilingly said:

"I’ll leave another door to you."

"Okay," Alistair nodded coldly, vanishing on the spot like a shadow, heading towards another door.

Granny Saisi, seeing this, turned her gaze to the battle between Xi Mu and the fourth Prince. With her vision, she judged that the Prince’s Magic Power was far stronger than Xi Mu’s, making any comparison unnecessary.

Yet she didn’t think that Xi Mu would necessarily lose.

Under the moonlight,

Xi Mu’s greatsword, entwined with black flames, was like thunder. A single slash snapped the greatsword gripped in the Prince’s hands. Had the Prince not quickly dodged back, he would have been cloven in two.

This was the augment of the power of death; not only could it guide life towards death, but it could also increase destructive power, cutting through hard armor even when cast upon a wooden sword.

And this was enough to make up for Xi Mu’s lack of attack power, as long as he could fully utilize his technique, he could inflict damage on his opponent.

"The favor of the Goddess of Death is truly enviable," the Prince sighed, looking at Xi Mu’s indifferent eyes and swinging his broken greatsword once more.

The originally broken greatsword extended once again, clashing with Xi Mu’s greatsword wrapped in black flames, scattering black fire and shards of bright moonlight.

For him, the damage to his weapon was not too concerning. With enough Magic Power, he could mold any shape he wanted.

Using moonlight as his sword, his weapon would never suffer damage.

Moreover, he had another advantage, his Magic Power was much stronger than Xi Mu’s. He didn’t need to rush to defeat Xi Mu; merely waiting for Xi Mu’s Magic Power to be exhausted would secure his victory.

Of course, this wasn’t to say that he intended to spare Xi Mu. The main issue was that he could not land a strike on him.

In terms of fighting skills, Xi Mu was far superior. If it weren’t for the suppression based on attributes, he would probably have been beheaded by now.

"Lord Ahtal, do you need my help?" Granny Saisi offered cheerfully, gripping her cane a bit more tightly.

Cursing a human Prince was too easy for her.

But she soon abandoned the idea of intervening in the battle. Suddenly, Xi Mu’s body ignited like burning coal, and the speed of his swordplay dramatically increased in that moment.

The balance of the battle instantly tipped.

A few slashes later,

the blade went through, and the head of the fourth Prince soared into the air, blood spurting forth as his body collapsed on the ground, while Xi Mu didn’t even look back. He charged towards the encroaching army, piercing through like a spear, turning the soldiers in his way into blossoms of blood.

Ah... is it over just like that?

Granny Saisi was momentarily stunned. She watched as the black flames started to consume the corpse of the fourth Prince, feeling an unexpected sense of surprise.

She had thought that Ahtal would be entangled with the fourth Prince for quite some time. Although the Prince possessed mediocre strength, he shouldn’t have been killed so easily.

After some thought, she reached a conclusion.

"Indeed, worthy of being chosen by the Witch herself," she confirmed that Ahtal wasn’t in immediate life-threatening danger and then, leaning on her walking stick, tremblingly made her way into the grand library.

What was seen from the outside world was different.

The moment she stepped into the grand library, her view changed as if she had entered a massive lake.

A gigantic round moon hung in the sky.

The Magic Queen floated in front of the moon and with a graceful wave of her magical wand, it was like a meteor shower, as a barrage of magical bullets rained down.

The range of the attack was so broad that there was virtually nowhere to hide.

If one were to take the Iris Flower Kingdom as an example, facing this move would likely lead to its instant extinction.

Admittedly, the killing power of this move on individuals was not strong.

However, the area it covered was too vast, and each magical bullet was enough to kill a weak soldier, such a wide-ranging area attack.

To obliterate a country was not a difficult task.

Worth mentioning is that a country doesn’t necessarily have to be incredibly vast, even a small self-sustaining island with a certain order and rule can be called a country.

"Those who delusionally aspire to become witches, your ambition ends here," said the Magic Queen coldly, lightly waving her magic wand again.

A huge magic circle appeared beneath her feet, and the phantom of a gigantic dragon emerged, letting out an enormous roar.

But in an instant, it was pierced through the head by a surging torrent of Magic Power.

"You... indeed failed," Hecate put down her magic wand, looking at the weakened Magic Queen, "What caused you to fail in becoming a witch?"

The Magic Queen didn’t answer; her eyes were colder than the moon, as she waved her magic wand gently once more.

Layers upon layers of magic circles appeared in the sky, and the phantoms of summoned creatures from different species crawled out, plummeting to the ground.

Dwarves, elves, dragons, giants, monsters, humans, and others materialized like a tide rushing towards Hecate.

"Stars, manifest your trajectory."

The spell echoed, and Hecate’s wand shone brightly, causing the trajectories of countless stars to appear in the sky, turning into numerous meteoric pathways that carpet-bombed the ground.

The collision of magical energies dazzled, obscuring the specific conditions of the battlefield, but it was clear that they were in fierce combat.

Dazzling magic was constantly unleashed in their hands, mutually solving and mutually bombarding.

Both sides kept a certain distance, with no intention of engaging in close combat, but it was precisely for this reason that the entire battlefield became extremely dangerous.

If one carelessly approached, they might be torn into a bloody mist in an instant.

There was silence for a moment. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Granny Saisi left leaning on her walking stick. She was proficient in curses and not in magical bombardment; it was better not to get involved.

When their magic power was depleted to a certain level, that would be her chance to intervene.

She came out of the library.

"Hahaha!!!" Xi Mu held two greatswords, one in each hand, slashing his way from south to north, then from north to west, and from west to east.

His Berserker-like momentum made others steer clear.

Compared to his teacher Hecate, who performed a variety of dazzling magic, Xi Mu’s fighting style was much more straightforward.

Just slash, slash, slash all the way down.

It’s not like he didn’t use magic at all, but he only used spells like Nest of Life and Ash Fire, which enhanced his own physical prowess.

Granny Saisi couldn’t help but remark:

"Is he really Hecate’s disciple?"
