Lin Xuan ignored Esdeath, who was talking to herself, and patted Akame on the shoulder in comfort.
"Rest assured, I'm very tolerant of women. Like the *弑神者* in my world, only two of them weren't killed by me. I respect women's opinions.
But the more Lin Xuan acted like this, the more interested she became in him.
"Ignoring me? You're the first man to ignore me! You're an interesting man. I really want to tie you up and marry you right now."
Esdeath licked her sensual lips, unsheathing her rapier.
"I must have you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a clash of metal rang out as Esdeath's rapier and Akame's Muramasa collided, sparking violently.
They exchanged a dozen blows in an instant, but Esdeath was constantly defended by Akame.
"Interesting. In that case, use you as an appetizer for me and my man! After I defeat you, I'll take the man in front of me home!"
Bloodlust gleamed in Esdeath's eyes.
The temperature of the air gradually dropped, and even Akame could breathe out white mist.
Asuna, on her soft bed, was stunned. Was this the strength of a Tier 1 expert?
Asuna, being the eldest daughter of the Yuuki family, had also learned swordsmanship. She may have had some game data bonuses in SAO, but she was also a skilled swordsman.
But her swordsmanship couldn't compare to the two of them, who had honed their skills in the battlefield. She observed their exquisite swordsmanship in this battle.
【Asuna: Such powerful swordsmanship!】
【Yotsuya Miko: I remember Esdeath can use ice. Isn't this her full power, but Akame is already struggling so much?】
【Kocho Shinobu: Esdeath can also use ice power, just like Douma's ability!】
Thinking of Douma, Kocho Shinobu couldn't help but gnash her teeth. She wished she could kill Douma right now and save her sister from death.
But thinking that Douma was Upper Rank Two, Kocho Shinobu immediately lost her spirit.
The Upper Ranks were worlds apart from the Lower Ranks. Furthermore, there was a huge difference between the top three Upper Ranks and the bottom three.
If things hadn't changed in the plot, they might not have been able to defeat Upper Rank One, Kokushibou, even if all the Hashira joined forces.
"Sigh."
Kocho Shinobu sighed softly. Lin Xuan's image suddenly appeared in her mind.
This startled her. She quickly looked up at the virtual screen in front of her, seeing Lin Xuan inside, and muttered, "If only Lin Xuan could help me. I'm really helpless alone."
Since learning the direction of the plot, she had done a lot. She not only saved Tanjiro's family but also told the Hashira about Transparent World and Hanafuda earing techniques.
But she had only seen the plot, not truly mastered the power of Hanafuda earing and Transparent World. She couldn't answer the Hashira's questions.
This made it extremely difficult for the Hashira to practice Hanafuda earing and Transparent World.
Until now, she wasn't sure if they could defeat Douma even if all the Hashira fought together.
But she could definitely save her sister. Though she felt a little guilty for using all the Hashira, she had no other choice.
"Don't get in my way! You stinky bitch!"
Akame was very strong, and her Imperial Arm, "One-Hit Kill" Demon Blade Muramasa, made Esdeath wary. If Akame cut her, Esdeath might have to amputate her arm to survive.
After attacking for a long time without any progress, Esdeath roared, and countless blue ice cubes suddenly appeared, blocking Akame's path.
Akame wielded Muramasa and slashed at the ice wall. As in the original work, she could inflict minimal damage to the ice wall.
Originally, Esdeath wanted to approach Lin Xuan after trapping Akame, but when she looked at him, Lin Xuan shook his head and pointed at Akame.
Esdeath was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter.
"Hahahaha, Darling, are you testing me? Very well, I'll fulfill your wish and kill her!"
Esdeath turned around. The ice wall in front of Akame shattered instantly, and countless ice needles shot towards Akame like a rain of arrows.
Akame's eyes narrowed. Esdeath was going all out!
Esdeath's swordsmanship was perfectly in line with her style. Each strike was powerful and wide-ranging, and it also involved her ability.
It could be said that once Esdeath used her ability, her strength would increase several times. Her swordsmanship was created in conjunction with her ability. Her swordsmanship after using her ability was Esdeath's ultimate form.
【Asuna: Esdeath is going all out! Akame can't beat her! Lin Xuan, please save Akame!】
【Yotsuya Miko: Awesome! Akame is having a hard time parrying when Esdeath gets serious. And I remember Esdeath has a trump card she hasn't used, right?】
【Kocho Shinobu: Yes, Mahapadma, Esdeath's trump card, the ability to freeze time. It's terrifying. Even Douma couldn't freeze time.】
【Asuna: Then wouldn't Akame lose if Lin Xuan doesn't intervene?】
【Yotsuya Miko: No way. Akame also has a hidden trump card, right? Don't you remember that move of hers where she implants a curse into herself?】
【Kocho Shinobu: But that move would poison Akame, and she wouldn't live long. In the end, there were still remnants of the curse on Akame's body.】
【Lin Xuan: Rest assured. Since I accepted Akame's invitation to this world, I won't let Akame die.】
Akame was completely focused on dealing with Esdeath in front of her and had no time to pay attention to the discussion in the chat group. Lin Xuan, on the other hand, watched the live broadcast and commented in the group.
After hundreds of moves, Akame's chest was heaving violently. Her stamina was nearing its limit.
She gritted her teeth, about to place Muramasa on her arm.
At this moment, a figure appeared beside her, and a large hand firmly grasped her right hand holding the sword.
"It's over. I've watched the play for so long. It's my turn to make a move."
Lin Xuan's tone was calm, but his words were filled with confidence, making people believe in him.
Akame's breathing stopped for a moment, but she slowly lowered Muramasa and stood by with the sword.
"You made a move! You actually saved her? Why? Well, it doesn't matter. You've passed my test, haven't you?"
Esdeath was puzzled as she watched Lin Xuan save Akame. She didn't understand why Lin Xuan would save her defeated subordinate.
But she didn't want to think about these things anymore. Now, her heart and eyes were only on the man in front of her.
"Since you've passed my test, it's your turn to pass mine. If you lose, you can only marry me. If I lose, I'll give my life to you. But I can't lose!"
