Chapter 240: One slash, three Stellaron Hunters! How the hell are we supposed to fight this?!
As the big screen lit up.
The PV for Acheron officially began playing!
Beyond the tense atmosphere of the Daydream Hotel.
On the internet, countless players also gathered to watch the moment it dropped!
The scene began.
What greeted everyone's eyes was the bustling streets of Penacony.
And on these streets at this moment.
Other than a woman holding an umbrella, there was no one else.
Droplets of water fell through the air.
Beneath a red paper umbrella.
Purple eyes slowly opened.
It was… Acheron, her expression indifferent!
And ahead.
Suddenly, a burst of unbridled laughter rang out!
[ Hehehehehe… ]
Following Acheron's gaze.
At the other end of the street.
A man holding a sharp sword, head lowered, was gradually approaching Acheron.
As the distance closed.
The man suddenly leapt up.
The sword in his hand pointed straight at Acheron!
And this,
Instantly caused many to show expressions of surprise!
"How could it be him!?"
"Blade?"
"Why would the Stellaron Hunters go after Acheron?"
"Are they starting a fight right off the bat?"
"That's some very healthy laughter!"
Acheron, however, remained calm.
Putting away her paper umbrella, she dodged a few attacks without haste.
She sighed: [ Very well. ]
[ After all… ]
[ The twilight rain will eventually fall. ]
The scene froze briefly here.
In the bottom left corner, the characters [ Acheron ] appeared, written in a splash-ink style.
The title on the seal read… [ Galaxy Ranger ].
"Huh?"
"Why is it Galaxy Ranger?"
"Is this Feathered Spirit's official stamp of approval?"
"I think there were some hidden characters that flashed by under the umbrella earlier… something like 'Self-something-er'?"
However.
What shocked everyone even more was yet to come!
Acheron suddenly tossed her paper umbrella forward.
Predicting the move, she blocked a barrage of bullets.
The paper umbrella spun and flew into the air due to the impact.
Two more figures appeared on the street.
[ What did you say? ]
[ Why don't you talk some sense? ]
Seeing these two appear.
Everyone was instantly stunned!
It was actually… Kafka and Silver Wolf!
Three major members of the Stellaron Hunters were actually here, ambushing Acheron!
This scene truly exceeded everyone's expectations!
Acheron's opponent could be the Family, the IPC, or even a Galaxy Ranger!
But instead!
In this video, it was the Stellaron Hunters who took the initiative.
They had surrounded Acheron!
Those who dared to come here and participate in the crusade against Acheron were all bold and meticulous people.
Seeing this scene immediately sparked many associations!
And as the battle broke out.
They had to temporarily set aside their thoughts and watch the battle carefully!
Whether it was Acheron or the Stellaron Hunters.
They were all important subjects for combat evaluation!
Surrounded by three Stellaron Hunters.
If it were anyone else.
They wouldn't just be panicked; they would at least be facing a formidable enemy!
Yet Acheron didn't even glance at the three of them.
Facing the display screen on the building across from her.
The fluorescent light cast a silver glow on her silhouette.
This profile was absolutely beautiful and full of temperament!
And the next words.
Raised Acheron's coolness factor by several levels!
[ Do your worse ] she said indifferently.
As her voice fell.
Kafka, Silver Wolf, and Blade didn't stand on ceremony.
They attacked from all sides.
Acheron dodged Kafka's kick with a margin of a single millimeter.
Silver Wolf and Blade's attacks were also parried by Kafka one after another.
At the same time.
Acheron's calm voice came through.
[ Our existence is fleeting as dawn's dew, destined for oblivion. ]
[ On the still waters of oblivion, I guide the wandering souls. ]
The screen paused briefly on her sharp gaze.
Suddenly.
A seamless transition!
Still a close-up of the eyes!
But it was a bare-faced woman applying eyeshadow to her eyes with a small mirror in her hand.
This young lady applying makeup looked quite similar to Acheron, yet not exactly the same!
Interspersing this unique scene in the middle of a battle.
Made many people feel it was incredible!
Can it even be presented like this?
And with a close-up of her side profile.
It seamlessly connected back to the young lady applying lipstick.
A long lip brush.
A dark red background.
Long, flowing hair.
Even though this was just a scene of a woman applying makeup.
It gave off a breathtaking beauty!
"Huh?"
"Why does it feel like a cosmetics commercial?"
"I thought Ruan Mei's PV was artistic enough, but this PV has reached new heights on a different track!"
"I know, this is Feathered Spirit using a unique technique to reflect Acheron's relaxed ease during combat."
"She can even recite poetry while fighting!"
"Damn it, is she that strong?"
Kafka, Silver Wolf, and Blade launched an all-out attack on Acheron from three directions!
And at this moment.
The woman in the makeup scene closed her compact.
"Boom!"
The ground instantly caved in.
The surrounding rocks exploded like overripe fruit.
The gravel in the air was mixed with streaks of lightning.
Acheron had actually parried the attacks of all three people with just her long sword!
And!
Until now!
Acheron hadn't even drawn her real sword yet!
Everything was done with the scabbard.
[ I weep for the departed… ]
After saying this.
Acheron's gaze sank.
A flash of electricity flickered in her eyes!
With a powerful shake!
She sent Kafka, Silver Wolf, and Blade flying back simultaneously!
And Acheron,
Finally gripped the hilt of her sword.
It seemed she was finally going to draw it!
Everyone,
At this instant, held their breath!
They wanted to see what kind of sword it was!
[ Stream forth… The gleam of old blades. ]
"!!!!!"
However.
All everyone saw were just Acheron's afterimages!
And the air being cut into neat geometric sections by the blade light.
When it returned to Acheron.
She had already completed the action of sheathing the sword!
Too fast!
The drawing motion couldn't be seen at all!
Those with weak nerves were already stunned, unable to speak.
Those with strong nerves could only marvel.
"Damn! Three Stellaron Hunters in one slash?"
"Is this Acheron's ultimate?"
"How are we supposed to fight this!"
"I'm out, I'm out…"
However.
The main event had only just begun.
The moment the screen shattered.
It seemed as if some restriction within Acheron had also been shattered along with it.
The screen turned crimson.
Red smoke billowed and engulfed everything.
Blood-red flowers.
Eerie slit pupils,
And other imagery flashed by!
[ Restore this lost memory… ]
[ Dyed, ]
[ In your color. ]
The street,
The rain grew heavier.
A car drove past in front of Acheron.
Blowing her hair.
And blowing her gaze.
Acheron looked up at the big screen on the upper floor.
The commercial playing there.
Was exactly the young lady who had been applying makeup earlier!
In other words.
The performance during the battle earlier.
Was not a mix of reality and illusion!
But that makeup commercial was actually playing in the background.
Acheron's attacks,
Every movement in that split second,
Perfectly matched the content of the makeup commercial.
This instantly elevated the battle to a new artistic realm!
And at this moment.
The woman in the commercial seemed to come alive.
She said to Acheron: [ Find me. ]
[ Find me. ]
[ Your end… ]
[ …my origin. ]
The originally melodious background music suddenly became impassioned!
Raindrops fell on Acheron.
She was suddenly moved by it!
She separated her feet.
The puddle of water accumulated on the ground instantly rippled.
She seemed to have made a decision!
She gripped the long sword with both hands.
The hand holding the hilt had already been stained with a layer of red!
[ All that is past… ]
[ …Has returned to Nihility. ]
This time.
Her sword,
Was truly about to be fully unsheathed!
Red petals danced along with it.
Everyone,
Held their breath at this moment!
As Acheron pulled out that red sword on the big screen.
That shade of red.
Slowly began to dye the figures of everyone present.
"She's going to draw her sword, she's really going to draw it…"
"Holy crap! Why do I feel like she's going to reach through the screen and cut us?"
"This is just a PV, why do I feel so much pressure."
"I'm sweating buckets!"
"What is she going to do!?"
"Weren't the Stellaron Hunters already repelled? Why does she still need to draw her sword?!"
