Making a Fuss for No Reason

It's like... although I still have things to do in my original universe, now that I'm here, there's no use in being in a hurry, so I might as well enjoy this moment of peace.

Moreover, for Acheron, what he has to do may not be what he truly wants to do.

"I wasn't criticizing you, I was just venting."

Liu Bai waved his hand. Acheron's impression of him was still a bit too serious and solemn, which made Liu Bai feel a little uncomfortable.

"Two groups of people will be coming back soon. Can you take them down but not kill them?"

"Wounded but not dead? I understand, I'll use the scabbard."

"... Didn't you use your scabbard to cut Ashvatthaman before?"

Don't think I didn't see it. When you fought Ashvatthaman before, you slashed with your scabbard and the cold light effect came out! That poor Ashvatthaman was cut in two!

"I drew my sword, but you just didn't see it clearly. After all, due to my fate, I did lose a lot of strength. And I will be lighter. Being able to tell at a glance whether you can cut your opponent and how much force you need to cut them is an essential skill for a swordsman."

Acheron spoke calmly.

"If you're still not comfortable with that, I can use my fists... but boxing isn't my forte."

"Ling, then use the scabbard... Meng... don't get seriously injured, it will be very troublesome to escape." Although Liu Bai was very worried, after thinking about it, he decided to trust Acheron's confidence as a swordsman.

"No, it won't."

[Acheron's Favorability: 30]

After a while, Acheron finished the cake in his hand, and the Undying Blade's troops arrived.

"... Huh? Isn't this the assistant?"

When the members of the Undying Blade gathered around, they naturally saw Liu Bai.

To be honest, a few days ago, they might not have recognized Liu Bai, the assistant they had only met once, but now, those who don't know Liu Bai can leave the group.

The vice-captain's stolen girlfriend!

"And who's next to you...?"

In an instant, the leading team members imagined a scenario where "their captain discovered that the pretty boy he had his eye on already had a girlfriend, and in a fit of rage, he used his position to settle personal scores and mobilized the Undying Blade army to forcibly abduct the man."

Okay, just kidding.

As team members, they still believed in their vice-captain's integrity and decisions.

"Well, forget it, aren't you going to surrender, buddy?"

"Thank you for your kindness." Bai helplessly spread his hands towards the Undying Blade team members who were on high alert, and then retreated behind Acheron.

"Thank you for your help, Acheron."

"It's my duty."

Acheron took two steps forward and slightly raised his unsheathed longsword.

In that instant, the leading squad leaders of the Undying Blade immediately sensed the danger.

"Cough!"

Before she could finish speaking, Acheron had already appeared in front of the squad leader, slashing his scabbard down towards her stomach. The young girl's eyes rolled back and she foamed at the mouth instantly.

"Minor injury...next." Acheron made a point of checking the other person's condition.

I'm not dizzy, but I definitely can't get up.

Compared to knocking someone unconscious, it's simpler and safer to beat them so badly they can't get up.

"A formidable enemy! Prepare for battle!"

The Undying Blade reacted very quickly, entering combat mode swiftly, demonstrating its tactical proficiency.

However, this time the enemy... is a completely extraordinary being.

Acheron is a character who could easily be considered the final boss in the original game.

At this distance, if Liu Bai up, he has a slight chance of breaking the deadlock, but Undying Blade team members?

Not nearly as good.

The attributes are insufficient, and the elite templates are also inadequate.

Approaching, a single scabbard snapped several ribs, instantly turning the Undying Blade members into writhing caterpillars on the ground.

What should have been a tense and exciting event was turned into a routine, assembly-line operation by Acheron.

In particular, Acheron's speed is limitless, reaching 12 points, while Liu Bai remembers that the average speed of these Undying Blade is 5...

The numerical value itself increases exponentially, literally a threefold difference, but in reality...

It's already a universe at your fingertips.

Acheron Quan's flash was simply a short-distance dash that was so fast that it gave the visual impression of a flash.

Acheron... is indeed holding back very seriously.

However, having said Lu Bu's lines, it seems Lu Bu is now in the Acheron, right?

So, I am...?

Chapter Seventy Unreasonable Behavior

"... What's going on here?"

Looking at the fallen members of the Undying Blade and the swordsman wielding a long sword who resembled his general by about 60%, Yae Miko had a bad feeling.

"Sir, should we take down these few too?"

With his long sword still sheathed, Acheron looked down at the three people who had just arrived.

"Well... since we're already here, and we're here to mediate, we can't just let one side fight."

"I see."

Acheron nodded knowingly.

"Hey—I've never heard of such fallacies!" As the second largest producer of Inazuma's fallacies, Liu Bai's words made Yae Miko unable to help but retort.

"They're here—!" Sara body tensed up.

Clang--!

Block...

"Is it lighter?"

"!"

Kujou Sara stared in horror at the swordsman who had appeared in front of her in an instant.

I managed to keep up... but I couldn't stop them at all.

The katana in Kujou Sara's hand flew out.

(Wrist...)

"Imperial Edict!"

The Yae Miko's roar descended along with the purple lightning.

However, this did not stop Acheron from taking a step forward instantly, slamming the hilt of his sword into Kujou Sara's abdomen, sending the tengu general flying.

"My Yae Miko..." Sara tried to struggle to get up, but in the end she couldn't stand up, her head lolled to the side and she fainted.

The descending purple lightning missed its mark by a hair's breadth and landed right behind Acheron's heels, with only a slight splash having no effect on Acheron.

And then...

Acheron's gaze swept over the Yae Miko.

The splash range of lightning is far too wide, and it will harm innocent people.

"Cherry!"

"Yes! The spirit blade manifests!"

The cherry-haired swordsman gave a soft shout.

"That knife..." Acheron's attention was drawn to the knife for a moment.

Bite--!

"A knife that harbors a soul?"

Acheron parried the swordswoman's attack, but still couldn't help but frown slightly and look behind the girl.

The swordsman's soul, with its cherry-haired hair and fox ears, had just launched a slash at her as well.

It didn't block it, but the damage was almost negligible to her.

"What a reckless knife."

Acheron seemed to have a stronger desire to speak, but his hands didn't stop moving at all.

The flick and the strike were executed in one fluid motion.

She had faced the Star God directly, and even though the Star God's influence was no longer present in this world, that unforgettable feeling would not fade.

A slash that damages the soul?

That's too much of a shortcut.

"Ugh... it's not over yet."

The cherry-haired swordsman who had been knocked away unexpectedly got up.

This time, a petite witch appeared beside the other person, who was treating her.

"...?"

Two souls reside within a single knife?

Things got even more chaotic.

"... They are terrifyingly strong."

Within seconds, Yae Miko realized that her opponent was probably an even stronger powerhouse than her best friend, Kage.

"Forget it, Sakura, don't force yourself, you can't win."

The idea of mutual destruction only flashed through the mind of the Yae Miko for a moment before being forgotten.

If the other party had no intention of taking their lives, why should they make things difficult for themselves?

The opponent's knife is still not drawn.

"My Yae Miko ..." Sakura's eyes still held a fighting spirit.

"Um... Miss Swordsman, look, you've already beaten up all my companions, so you don't need to beat me anymore, right? I surrender. If you don't want to see anyone standing, I can lie on the ground and pretend to be dead." After saying this to Sakura, Yae Miko obediently raised her hands in surrender to Acheron.

"Eh? Yae Miko!?"

Sakura, who was still determined to fight again to buy time for Yae Miko, was immediately dumbfounded.

"Gentlemen?"

Acheron looked at Liu Bai behind him questioningly.

"Well... it's not like we necessarily have to hit her, but since we're already here, we can't show favoritism, can we? That wouldn't be right, would it?"

"That's pretty much what I thought." Acheron nodded.

[Acheron's Favorability: 33]

"Hey! This kind of fallacy should be stopped, ugh—!"

The hilt of the knife was laid down.

Sakura's Affection Level: 15

"I am very sorry to have shown you both a less-than-ideal side of the Yae Miko."

Having completely lost the will to fight, Sakura bowed to Liu Bai and Acheron.

"Ah, it's alright, you are..."

Liu Bai was a little curious. According to the favorability rating, this should be Sakura from the Previous Era... She was indeed still in her immature stage.
