I Can Read People's Comments-Chapter 191: Not a Speedrun

[Chapter 190 Comments.]

*Boom!*

The lightning strike caused a massive shock wave that splattered the magma. But just like the previous lightning strike, it didn’t hurt the magma golem that much. Instead, the space element was much more effective against this magma golem.

In that case, there was only one thing he had to do.

Toon Demon’s Second Authority, Toon Territory.

With the help of the second authority, Theo changed the environment. Just like earlier, he created an icy plain that would cause the temperature to clash.

"Uoo?!" The magma demon rose again but noticed something different. It didn’t realize that this was just an illusion, but what the demon saw was the fact that the surrounding area had been covered in ice.

The chilling temperature caused the magma to solidify. In the end, the magma itself was the superheated state of a molten rock. As long as the temperature reached a certain level, it would return as a rock.

This was Theo’s objective.

More and more magma turned into charred blocks of stones and continued moving toward the magma golem.

The magma golem released its strength, exuding heat from its body in order to stop Theo. However, it was useless. The temperature remained the same.

At the same time, Theo shot the sky once again as the lightning arrow turned into a circle and released multiple lightning strikes. Instead of the magma, the lightning strikes hit the charred rocks instead, shattering them into pieces.

*Rooo!* The magma golem roared as though its body was being destroyed.

The magma golem tried to reach Theo with its giant hand, but it was useless. Theo simply used the space distortion to direct the magma away. While the liquid body had a big advantage, this could be their weakness. Like how Theo was unable to destroy it with lightning, the magma golem couldn’t touch him due to the liquid’s characteristics.

’What is this?’ Feng Xiaoling gulped down. This was the first time she saw someone defeat a magma golem this way. No one was able to suppress the temperature of the magma golem unless they used a ridiculous amount of essence.

However, Theo could actually overwhelm it without much essence.

Before the magma golem could realize the trick, Theo hurriedly expanded the temperature toward the magma golem’s main body.

It only took him fifteen seconds to freeze the overflowing magma. It continued toward the magma golem’s body, which shouldn’t take that long.

The magma golem stretched its hands, trying to grab Mia and the others instead of Theo. However, it was useless as the magma golem turned into solid rock before it was able to reach them.

And the last thing he needed to do was aim his bow at this solid magma golem. Theo positioned himself so that he could deliver the maximum amount of damage to the magma golem.

When he released his arrow, the lightning arrow turned again into a dragon head, devouring the golem from the head to the body, causing the arms to fall to the ground.

There was nothing left from the magma golem as the charred black rock had shattered into pieces and dispersed in all directions.

The magma had been sealed by Theo’s illusion as well.

Feng Ling couldn’t help but gasp. He had never seen someone be able to defeat the magma golem this easily.

Feng Xiaoling, on the other hand, thought that helping such a great expert might not be a bad thing. While she couldn’t serve him, following him shouldn’t be a problem. She was quite curious about this ’wife’ who could capture Theo’s heart. After all, they produced a rather unique and genius kid.

After killing the magma golem, he returned to them and said, "Let’s continue onward. We need to hurry."

Theo said this word not because he wanted to warn them that something bad was going to happen in this special realm. Instead, he simply wanted to speed things up to fulfill the readers’ requests.

"Y-yes!" Feng Xiaoling misunderstood Theo’s words and thought something was happening to her father, so they had to rush. Feng Ling didn’t have any opinions since Feng Xiaoling had made a decision.

While they were running, Mia couldn’t help but ask, "Dad. Is that a lightning bow?"

"Yes."

"What is its special power?" Mia asked. "The Sword with unlimited slashes, the gravity stick, the unbreakable wires, the soul scythe… Each of them has a unique power. I don’t think that bow only allows you to use lightning, right?"

Theo smirked. "Well, I’m not going to spoil it. But I believe that the author has prepared something for us that will force me to utilize its unique power."

"Can’t you reveal it to me? I mean, the author is supposed to censor it, right?" Mia pouted.

"Hahaha. I’m not going to do it this time. Besides, it’s something you’d like to see." Theo teased his daughter.

Mia had no choice but to be patient.

They made their way toward the edge of the opposite side of the special realm. He wondered what they had in store.

Theo pointed at the front. There seemed to be a giant altar in front of them. It was still too far for others to see, but Theo couldn’t help but furrow his eyebrows.

’An altar? Is it our destination? But the size of this plane…’ Theo felt something was wrong. On the one hand, it looked like the altar was their destination based on the essence emanating from it. On the other hand, he calculated that there should be one or two more trials before he could reach their original destination.

’Does the author speed things up this much because it’s getting boring for the readers? He is forcing the plot to progress even faster and change the altar to this place.’ Theo looked down, contemplating.

At first glance, the skip looked like a plot hole. At the same time, if the author could explain it well, it might not become one. However, one thing was for sure.

Theo whispered to Mia. "It seems that you are going to fight this time, but this battle will be much harder than the previous one. I’m not sure what the author has in store, but do it with a bang."

Mia tilted her head in confusion. Instead of speed-running the entire secret realm, the story actually shrank to the point where Theo believed he would meet the boss in a mid-boss area.

"That’s…" Feng Xiaoling seemed to have seen something while Feng Ling confirmed it with his keener eyes. "That’s the patriarch."

Theo squinted his eyes, trying to look at the platform. He was able to see the middle-aged man standing on top of the platform.

The middle-aged man had short blond hair like Feng Xiaoling and Feng Ling. His eyes were red not like a blazing fire.

However, something was wrong with his gaze. It felt empty even though the man was standing on top of the platform while looking straight at them. His power had gone all the way to save him, so if he was fine, there was no way he would have that empty gaze or emotionless face.

Something was wrong and Theo could feel it. However, he didn’t know how much he should interfere, considering this was a family reunion.

He soon noticed that behind the platform was a giant flame. It was flaring up in the middle of a cup as though there was unlimited fuel.

"I wonder… The current modern realm still needs oil for gasoline and other things, right? Meanwhile, the cultivator is using none of it. Don’t tell me, are they going to invade the cultivation realm for oil?" Theo chuckled, thinking of a ridiculous possibility.

Wait. He wanted to speed things up for the sake of the readers earlier, so he didn’t know why he got distracted.

As soon as he regained his bearing, Theo said, "Feng Xiaoling. Be careful. Something is not right with your father. Even if we reach there, don’t go to him immediately."

"But…" Feng Xiaoling didn’t want to listen to him. After all, she entered this realm for the sake of bringing back her father.

Theo looked at her with a dark face. "If you can’t listen to me, then I will simply stop you here so that you won’t be able to meet your father forever. If you are going to mess things up, then it’s better for you to be gone."

"!!!" Feng Ling hurriedly positioned himself between Feng Xiaoling and Theo, thinking that Theo might try to attack Feng Xiaoling.

However, Feng Xiaoling snapped back to reality after listening to his words. She asked, "Then, what am I supposed to do?"

"Just wait and don’t do anything. It won’t take too long for me to inspect him." Theo didn’t forget to give a time limit so that Feng Xiaoling wouldn’t be so anxious. This way, she should be able to restrain herself for a little bit.

With that thought in mind, they started slowing down as if they were ready to dodge in case something unexpected happened.

Meanwhile, Theo looked around the area. It was a barren plain, so there didn’t seem to be anything around them. At the same time, who would actually create a platform like this in the middle of the barren wasteland for the inheritance?

That was why Theo had to understand what was going on first.

However, it seemed that he had to change his plan. When they were about to arrive, the middle-aged man suddenly raised his head and pointed his palm at them.

A giant flame came out of his palm like a tornado, trying to engulf them.

"!!!" Theo hurriedly activated his space element to redirect the flame while Mia rolled her eyes. "Ah yes, the typical controlled trope! What’s next? Getting their memory erased and becoming a saintess or something? But it’s a fire phoenix, not anything related to ice… I hate that trope so much."
