After get off work, I started speedrunning through the other world

Chapter 23 Monsters... No, Giants Attack the City

"Furnace City is hot." Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Jed looked at the end of his vision, which seemed to be a cauldron as high as a mountain.

"By the way, boss... do you know about Furnace City?"

"You know a lot?" Ximu asked back, and Jed smiled, with his hands on his wheat-colored waist, looking very confident.

"Boss, you asked the right person. I have been to Furnace City many times. I know clearly what delicious food there is and which store sells cheap weapons."

"What if I ask about history and origin?" Ximu chuckled, looking at the magnificent cauldron overflowing with magma.

Zed scratched his cheek and turned his head away unnaturally: "Who would go to learn about the history of such antiques?"

"The Crucible City is a city built by the giants for the god they believe in, the fire giant Surtur. The legendary Sword of Light and many other artifacts were all created by the fire giant Surtur in the Crucible City."

Letitia suddenly spoke, her emerald eyes reflecting the cauldron of flowing magma, explaining to Ximu and Zed.

"But later, because the fire giant Surtur went crazy, he was sealed into the underground world forever by the gods, and the natives of the Crucible City were all expelled."

"Now the Crucible City gathers top forging masters from all over the world, in addition to giants. With the remaining power of the former fire giant Surtur, they create high-quality weapons and armor."

"If you want to find a weapon that suits your heart, come to the Crucible City."

Jed clapped his hands, looking at Leticia who was telling the origin of the Crucible City, he couldn't help but sigh: "Sister Leticia, you are worthy of being the princess. You know more."

"Maybe it's because I am more interested in the history of the Crucible City." Leticia smiled, and didn't explain in detail why she was so familiar with the Crucible City.

"Is this the humility of the nobles?" Jed smiled cunningly, turned his head to look at Ximu beside him, but found that Ximu took out a thick sword and a spear for hunting giants from the carriage.

She couldn't help but smile.

"Don't worry, there are no giants in the Crucible City. Even if you hold the giant hunting spear, it's meaningless."

"Be prepared." Ximu explained casually, and Zed didn't persuade him much after hearing it, but just showed a funny expression.

She put one hand on her waist and said to Ximu.

"Boss, wait for me for a moment, I'll go talk to the leader, and take you to eat something delicious later." After saying that, she winked playfully, turned around and ran to the front of the caravan, talked with several adventurers for a while, and then pointed at Ximu and Leticia.

After the leader of the caravan nodded in agreement, Zed smiled happily and happily took Ximu and Leticia to visit the Crucible City.

...

...

Street.

"Boss, aren't you tired of holding two weapons like this?" Zed tilted his head and looked at Ximu next to him carrying the giant hunting spear and a heavy sword.

Even an adventurer as capable as her would not want to hold a giant hunting spear all the time, let alone wear armor and hold a heavy sword.

This is too much of a waste of energy.

"Be prepared." Ximu said, and then Leticia beside him added.

"Jed, we need to be on guard against assassins who may appear at any time." She raised her hand and touched the rapier at her waist.

With the sudden disaster in Lionheart City, it would be impossible for the assassin to find her and Ximu by following the traces in a short time.

However, as long as you have the patience to look for them, or are willing to spend money to find an astrologer to locate them, you will find her and Ximu sooner or later.

Of course, it is estimated that you can't catch up now.

"It's that group of assassins!" Zed reacted and looked around vigilantly. I don't know when a dagger appeared in his hand, and I don't know where she is hiding.

But after looking around, he returned to normal.

"No wonder the hiring fee is so high this time." She reacted, but she didn't care much, just asked Ximu.

"Boss, if I help to repel the killer, can I get extra money?"

"I will deal with the killer myself!" Ximu decisively retorted. How could the experience package he delivered to the door be snatched away by others?

"But you can get extra money."

"Ha... Boss, are you serious?" Jed widened his eyes, as if to confirm whether Ximu was joking.

Ximu walked into the restaurant in front without explaining.

...

...

Outside the Furnace City.

Groups of giants gathered and began to surround the Furnace City. Judging from the orderly organization and activities, they were very close to the army.

"...Finally, we can take back the Holy City." A figure wearing black armor and holding a huge mace walked out of the group of giants.

He was nearly twelve meters tall, and his pupils seemed to be burning with flames.

"Except for the furnace, everything will be destroyed, including buildings, humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, goblins... all destroyed."

"Understood." A red-haired female giant came out. She was also wearing black armor, but holding a spear in her hand.

Judging from the style, it is very similar to the hunting giant spear.

"Get ready to throw!" The female giant took a throwing posture, aiming at the tallest building in the Furnace City.

Behind her, thousands of giants took the same posture.

"Throw!" With the force of the wrist and the rotation of the waist, the spear lit up with a fluorescent green light and then pierced through the air.

Following closely were thousands of equally enchanted spears, which bombarded the Furnace City like a cluster of missile rain.

"Boom!" The violent explosion instantly caused the Furnace City's barrier to collapse. The subsequent spears fell into the city, causing a violent explosion, and the fire and roar flooded the city.

"Charge!" The leading giant waved his mace and rushed towards the Furnace City first, leading the mighty giants to attack the city.

Not for occupation, nor for plundering property, but purely for faith to start a war, in order to restore the Holy City to its original appearance.

Not to be defiled by this group of outsiders.

And in order to achieve this great goal, what needs to be done is unexpectedly simple, and there is no need to think too much.

Destroy everything except the furnace.

"Hahahaha... all of you go to hell!" The mace swung and squeezed the air into a semi-transparent substance, smashing heavily on the indestructible city gate. With the explosion of the air, the city gate and the wall were blown away.

The gravel flew like bullets, and the people who were fleeing in panic in the city were instantly pierced by the gravel. The powerful impact tore their flesh and blood into blood foam.

There were only a few survivors with slightly stronger strength left. Before they could catch their breath, they saw a giant in armor rushing out of the smoke and dust, swinging a stick at them fiercely. With the collapse of the street, several survivors turned into blood foam.

"Humph, it's really a bug." The giant leader showed a bad smile, looked in the direction of the city lord's mansion, and stepped hard on the ground, as if it was a runaway train, rushing with a crazy and tragic momentum, and everything along the way was destroyed by the swinging mace.

And behind him, there seemed to be no end of giants, rushing with fanatical momentum, killing anyone they saw and smashing buildings they encountered.

Panic.

Fear.

Trembling.

At this time, people finally remembered the horror of the giants and fled like headless flies.

However, some people also felt... joy about this scene.

Monsters attacking the city.

This must be a lot of experience!

"One." Whispering to himself, Ximu kicked his feet and pulled out the hunting giant spear, accompanied by blood spurting.

He turned over in the air and landed on the broken building, then looked forward to the giant who was unwilling to fall with his hands covering his throat.

"Boss, this way!" Not far away, Zed waved excitedly, grabbed Leticia's wrist, and fled in the crowd.

Ximu looked at the two fleeing people, and then looked at the approaching giant, his smile became more and more brilliant, and he greeted him without hesitation.

"Cool, it's worthy of a monster attacking the city!" As the thick sword passed, the back of the giant's neck was cut open. Ximu stepped on the back of the giant's neck that was about to fall to the ground, holding the hunting spear in one hand and the thick sword in the other, looking around at the several giants who surrounded him.

"Ha~" He chuckled, Ximu's mouth curled up, and he was about to start a killing spree, but he found a red-haired knight passing by, holding a knight's sword and slashing in the air a few times, accompanied by a flash of sword light.

The bodies of several giants split.

"Are you okay?" The red-haired knight landed beside Ximu, looking at the man with a big sword and a spear.

"Please go to shelter as soon as possible."

You are stealing my monster.

Ximu ignored the red-haired knight and rushed towards another giant, and also paid attention to protecting Zed and Leticia along the way.

This guy... What's going on?

The red-haired knight was stunned and killed the approaching giant casually, but after seeing Ximu surrounding the two ladies and killing the giants, he immediately understood why the other party was so anxious, and didn't even say a word of thanks.

In order to protect the two ladies in danger.

"What an upright knight." With a sigh, he turned around and began to attack other giants in order to save more residents.

This is not an isolated case. After a brief exclamation, many strong men in the Furnace City immediately reacted and counterattacked the giant.

"After the optimization, it is more difficult to gain experience!" Ximu stepped on the giant's arm, kicked hard with both feet, and chopped out with the heavy sword in his hand. With blood gushing from the giant's neck, his figure had passed the giant.

In front of his sight, a giant in armor waved his fist at him, and the wind he raised made it difficult for people to stand.

It is an elite monster, a little difficult to kill.

But the explosion of experience is more.

Ximu landed on his feet and was about to charge at the armored giant, when he saw a green arrow break through the giant's head.

The monster... was robbed again.

Looking in the direction of the arrow, he saw a female elf with long green hair, blowing a kiss to him, and then raised an arrow to shoot other giants.

Ximu: "..."

Forget it, let's focus on grabbing monsters. The game system of Mysterious Gate is better optimized, which means the game will become more fun.

At this time, his attribute panel has changed.

Ximu.

Attribute panel.

Race: "Human."

Level: "18"

Skills: "Ten Shadow Magics, Healing Prayer, Death Protection, Life Nest."

Talent: "None"

Achievements: "Impossible Miracle, Guardian of the Princess, Ten Man Killer, Money Rolling, Touching the Hero's Blade, Giant Hunter."

Compared to the original level 13, there is no doubt that it has made a huge leap, which can support him to kill giants more persistently.

And the more you kill, the higher your level will be, and the more durable you will be.

Monsters attacking the city... It's so cool.

Ximu smiled happily, but because he was covered in blood and wearing a helmet, no one could see his expression clearly.

He jumped between the houses, wielding a heavy sword, stabbing the spear of the hunting giant, showing amazing fighting skills.

"Boss, who is he?" Zed looked up at Ximu passing by the giant, and then saw a lot of blood gushing out of the giant's neck.

In terms of pure strength, she didn't think Ximu was very strong, but that fighting skill seemed to predict the future, and he calmly walked through the giants and killed almost every move.

"I'm beginning to believe that the boss might be an astrologer!" She held Leticia's hand and ran wildly in the alley, her mouth never stopped.

"If I don't die this time, I must ask the boss for fighting skills!"

"Be careful!" Leticia suddenly stopped and pulled Zed's wrist hard. As the two retreated, a big knife broke through the air.

It was a giant wearing armor, holding a sharp big knife, and he stared at the two of them with crazy eyes.

But in a moment, Ximu pierced his temple with a spear, and as the spear was pulled out, brain matter and blood gushed out.

Ximu glanced at the two people who were safe and sound, and after getting their nods, he raised the hunting giant spear and prepared to continue to gain experience points.

And just when he raised the hunting giant spear, there was a sudden "click" sound of breaking, and the hunting giant spear broke and fell to the ground.

Cheap goods, the durability is not good.

Throwing away the hunting giant spear in his hand, Ximu grabbed the thick sword with both hands and continued to hunt the giant.

If you want to gain experience in this game, you must be hostile or have opposing camps, and you can't kill innocent people.

The giant siege is an event that can quickly earn experience points. After all, the giant attacks all life indiscriminately, and you can earn experience points by counter-killing.

You must take the opportunity to upgrade vigorously.

Otherwise, the next time you want to level up so quickly, you have to wait until he helps Leticia regain the country.

Soon after, the battle fell into a stalemate.

People who have fully reacted began to counterattack the giants, which means that more people are robbing monsters.

At this time.

In the safe zone established by the city guards.

"Be careful." Ximu turned his back to Leticia and Zed. He held a blunt and heavy sword in one hand, and the silver armor was flowing with the blood of the giant.

"Don't worry, I will be fine." After saying that, he joined the battlefield without hesitation under the gaze of everyone.

That back without any hesitation is admirable.
