After work, start to speedrun the other world

```

"Boom!" The intense explosion instantly caused the barrier of Forge City to collapse, and following spears fell into the city, triggering violent explosions that engulfed the city with fire and roaring.

"Charge!" The leading giant swung the Wolf Fang Club and led the charge toward Forge City, leading the formidable army of giants to lay siege.

It wasn't for occupation or plundering of wealth but purely a war for faith to restore the Holy City to its original state.

Not to be desecrated by these foreigners.

And to accomplish this grand objective, the tasks required were unexpectedly simple; they didn't need to think too much.

Destroy everything except for the Forge itself.

"Hahaha... Die, all of you!" The Wolf Fang Club swung through the air, solidifying into a semi-transparent force, and heavily smashed on the indestructible city gate, which was sent flying along with the walls amidst the burst of air.

The stone debris scattered like bullets, and the panic-stricken people fleeing within the city were penetrated by the fragments in an instant, their flesh torn apart by the powerful impact into a mist of blood.

The few survivors, slightly stronger, had no time to catch their breath when a giant clad in armor emerged from the dust, swung down fiercely at them, and with the collapse of the street, they too turned into a mist of blood.

"Hmph, just insects," the giant leader sneered with a malicious smile as he looked toward the City Lord's mansion, stomped the ground with force as if an out-of-control train, and rushed toward it with a crazy and brutal momentum, destroying everything in its path with the swinging Wolf Fang Club.

Following him were endlessly surging giants, charging with fervent zeal, slaughtering anyone they saw and smashing any buildings they encountered.

Panic.

Fear.

Trembling.

At that moment, the people finally remembered the terror of the giants and fled like headless flies.

But there were also those who felt... joy at this scene.

Monsters attacking the city.

Isn't that a great opportunity to grind lots of experience!

"One." Murmuring softly to himself, Xi Mu pushed off the ground, yanking out the Giant Hunter's Spear, accompanied by a gush of blood.

He flipped over in midair, landing on a ruined building, and then looked toward a giant who, hands clutching his throat, unwillingly fell down.

"Boss, over here, over here!" Not far away, Jed excitedly waved his hand, pulling Letixia by the wrist as they fled through the crowd.

Xi Mu looked at the fleeing pair and then at the approaching giants, his smile growing wider as he did not hesitate to confront them.

"Awesome, nothing beats a monster siege!" With his hefty sword slashing through, the nape of the giant's neck was severed, and Xi Mu stepped on the falling giant's neck, one hand holding the Giant Hunter's Spear, the other a heavy sword, eyeing the encircling giants.

"Ha~" He chuckled lightly, his smile widening, ready to go on a killing spree, but then he noticed a red-haired knight passing by, swinging a knight's sword in the air, slashing a few times with the gleam of the blade.

The bodies of several giants split apart.

"Are you alright?" The red-haired knight landed beside Xi Mu, looking at the man with the great sword and spear.

"Please find shelter quickly."

You're stealing my kills.

Xi Mu ignored the red-haired knight and charged toward another giant, making sure to keep an eye on protecting Jed and Letixia as well.

What's with this guy?

The red-haired knight was taken aback, casually slaying approaching giants, but soon understood why the other man was so anxious and didn't even say thanks after seeing Xi Mu constantly circling the ladies, slaughtering giants.

To protect two ladies in danger.

"Truly a noble knight," he sighed, turning to face other giants and rescue more residents.

And this was not an isolated incident, as many of Forge City's mighty immediately reacted after a brief shock and counterattacked the giants.

"After the optimization, it's harder to grind experience!" Xi Mu stepped on the arm of a giant, pushed off forcefully, and swung his hefty sword in stride, cutting the giant's neck and spewing blood as his figure sped past.

In his line of sight, an armored giant swung his fists, the turbulence from the swing nearly preventing people from standing.

It's an Elite Monster, probably tough to kill.

But the experience gained from it would be much more.

Just as Xi Mu's feet touched the ground, ready to charge the armored giant, a green arrow whistled through the air, piercing the giant's head straight through.

```

Stolen... again.

Looking in the direction from which the arrow came, he saw an elf with green hair blowing him a kiss before taking another shot at a different giant.

Xi Mu: "..."

Oh well, better keep his focus on stealing kills. The game system of Mysterious Gate had improved optimization, which also meant the game would become even more fun.

By now his attribute panel had already changed.

Xi Mu.

Attribute Panel.

Race: "Human."

Level: "18"

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

Talent: "None"

Achievements: "Impossible Miracle, Princess's Guardian, Ten Men Slash, Rolling in Riches, Touching the Hero's Blade, Giant Hunter."

There was no question that this was a huge leap from his original level 13, supporting his ability to kill giants for longer durations.

And the more he killed, the higher his level rose, making him even more durable.

Monsters besieging a city... Such a thrill.

Xi Mu laughed heartily, but because he was covered in blood and wearing a helmet, no one could see his expression clearly.

He leapt between the houses, swinging his massive sword and thrusting the Giant Hunter's Spear, showcasing his impressive battle skills.

"Boss, who exactly is that guy?" Jed lifted his gaze to Xi Mu brushing past a giant, after which he saw a massive spurt of blood from the giant's neck.

If it was pure strength, she didn't think Xi Mu was that strong, but his battle skills seemed almost precognitive, moving through the giants with ease, with almost every strike lethal.

"I'm beginning to believe the boss might be an Astrologer!" She clutched Letixia's hand, running madly through the alleyways, never stopping her chatter.

"If we don't die this time, I must learn combat techniques from the boss!"

"Be careful!" Letixia suddenly stopped, pulling Jed's wrist forcefully, retreating as a huge blade whooshed past them.

It was a giant in armor, wielding a sharp greatsword, its crazed eyes fixed on them.

But in an instant, Xi Mu's spear pierced through the giant's temple, and as he withdrew the spear, brain matter and blood sprayed out.

Xi Mu glanced at the two unharmed women, and after receiving a nod from them, he lifted the Giant Hunter's Spear, ready to continue grinding for experience.

But as he raised the Giant Hunter's Spear, a sudden "snap" was heard; the spear broke and fell to the ground.

Cheap stuff, the durability is just not good enough.

Dropping the broken Giant Hunter's Spear, Xi Mu grabbed his massive sword with both hands, continuing the giant hunt.

In this game, to grind for experience one must be in a situation of hostility, or factional opposition, indiscriminate killing of innocents is not allowed.

And a giant's siege was an event ripe for racking up experience points, as giants attacked all life indiscriminately, granting experience upon retaliation.

One must seize the opportunity to level up fiercely.

Otherwise, to grind so freely again, he'd have to wait until he helped Letixia reclaim her kingdom.

Before long, the battle reached a stalemate.

As people fully grasped the situation, they began to counterattack the giants, which meant more people started kill-stealing.

At that moment.

Inside the fortified city's safe zone.

"Make sure you're safe," Xi Mu called out to Letixia and Jed with his back turned toward them, holding his blunted heavy sword with one hand, his silver armor streaming with giant blood.

"Don't worry, I won't have a problem." With that, he joined the battlefield resolutely under everyone's gaze.

His unwavering figure inspired admiration.
