Honkai Star Rail: Starting With Marrying Acheron

Something must be said.

On a world destroyed by a Stellaron.

There are a lot of monsters.

Among the world-destroying monsters all over the planet, enemies from the Antimatter Legion would occasionally appear.

When Acheron stopped attacking, Lin Shuang felt the tremendous pressure of being her enemy all over the world.

In particular, Acheron insisted that Lin Shuang start sweeping away all the enemies whenever she arrived at a place.

During the first two days, it was not her sweeping away monsters, but a grand escape in which she was chased by monsters!

Lin Shuang almost ran herself to death.

But fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you looked at it, Acheron would take the initiative to put pressure on Lin Shuang, forcing her to turn back and fight.

Or when she saw Lin Shuang was about to run to a safe distance, she would walk over and grab her collar and throw her back to the monsters.

As long as you can't die, push yourself to death.

In this way, about ten days of "happy" time passed.

…

On this day, in an icy open-air venue of unknown use.

A white figure is fighting with a large ice monster.

"Sometimes I see a dying bird fall to the ground~"

Along with the melodious singing, tiny flames attached to the bright red sword. Lin Shuang held the sword in one hand, crouched down, and turned to avoid the sharp ice edges.

Then the sword was swung out with the force of her body, slashing across the legs of the monster.

In the collision of high temperature (not the fake fire) and extreme cold, the flame condensed by Lin Shuang was ultimately superior. The sword blade easily tore through the armor of the monster's ice as if it were cutting through butter.

With one slash, Lin Shuang cut off the monster's legs. She slapped the ground with her palm and fell to the ground. At the moment when the monster was howling and fighting back, she successfully rushed out of the ice and frost.

She stood up and thrust her sword behind her again!

"I thought I was no more than a bystander till I felt a touch so real."

This time, it was cut in two, from bottom to top, following a sad tune, completely ending the life of this monster.

Lin Shuang put away the sword and stood up, quickly retracting the flame, and the lyrics of "Moon Halo" gradually faded.

By now, Lin Shuang has already learned to ignore the BGM that will automatically play once the fight officially begins.

You can even attack to the rhythm of the song.

Anyway, they are just a bunch of monsters who can't understand the lyrics. Acheron also said that such BGM can also train Lin Shuang's concentration.

The melodious singing gradually dissipated into the air.

Lin Shuang followed the tune, and with a flick of her hand, the sword in her hand dispersed and turned into a handful of fire and returned to the Herrscher Core.

Lin Shuang herself quickly walked away in the direction she came from.

Feeling the remaining energy in her Herrscher Core, Lin Shuang's lips curled, and she sighed.

Because the Herrscher Core had no energy source to replenish it, its power was basically permanently lost as it was used, so Lin Shuang used it very sparingly.

She fights almost entirely by relying on her body strengthened by the Herrscher Core.

Only when necessary will a little power be released and be attached to the blade to kill the more difficult enemies with the flames.

And that damn BGM will be automatically triggered when Lin Shuang releases said power and will last until the flames dissipate.

It's extremely outrageous.

Acheron also approached with her blade in hand.

She looked at Lin Shuang with approval and handed her a peach as a reward.

"You've made rapid progress, and your control over energy has improved greatly. Maybe you're really born to fight."

"Thanks."

Lin Shuang breathed slightly in exhaustion, took the peach from Acheron, and did not dare to look at her.

Although that was not Acheron's intention at that time.

But it was still a huge shock to Lin Shuang, so much so that over the past few days, whenever Acheron took out a peach, Lin Shuang would subconsciously think of what happened that day.

Fortunately, her facial expression management has improved significantly recently, and she stuffed the peach into her mouth without making a sound and diverted her attention somewhere else other than Acheron.

In fact, she had made rapid progress in recent days.

She wasn't sure whether it was her own talent or the talent of this body randomly assigned by the system.

A few days ago, she could only rely on her body's instinctive reaction to block Acheron's sword. Even earlier, she couldn't even stand steadily when facing Acheron.

Now, as more and more monsters died at Lin Shuang's hands, Lin Shuang was able to keep thinking, consider the situation, and take action in the extremely fast-paced battles.

Of course, Lin Shuang felt that a big part of the reason why she could improve so quickly was that Acheron would directly pick her up and throw her into the group of monsters.

It is said that people are forced to learn. Sometimes, she feels that if she wasn't forced, Lin Shuang herself would not know that her learning ability is so strong.

Recalling the first actual combat training.

Lin Shuang thought she would find a few solitary creatures to practice with first, but Acheron simply grabbed her collar and put her in the center of a large group of creatures.

Acheron herself just watched Lin Shuang get beaten and subsequently run for her life.

Apart from teaching Lin Shuang how to use the heavy sword, she did nothing else.

During her crazy escape, Lin Shuang finally came to the profound realization that she shouldn't have any expectations of the Acheron Cult's methods.

But to be honest, in this state of constant adrenaline, Lin Shuang did learn very quickly.

Although she hadn't mastered any tricks yet, Lin Shuang's swordsmanship had become quite good under Acheron's guidance.

"Come to think of it, why do I feel like the frequency of encountering these large monsters has increased?"

While chewing a peach, Lin Shuang curiously expressed her doubts.

Acheron nodded in thought and said:

"Of course, since we are now approaching the Stellaron, the monsters will naturally become stronger and stronger, and there will be more and more of them."

"Pftt—"

Lin Shuang almost spit out the peach in her mouth. She looked at Acheron with wide eyes:

"We are moving towards the Stellaron? Didn't you forbid me to get close to the Stellaron?"

"I just don't want you to die, not to stop you from getting close. Judging by your rate of improvement, by the time we get close, it should be fine."

Lin Shuang saw Acheron's expression and found that she was very serious. For a moment, even the peach in her mouth was no longer fragrant.

So Lin Shuang also sighed seriously.

She thought she had made great progress recently. Even monsters like the ice monsters from outer space could be chopped with just two or three cuts. So she should have no problem getting close to the Stellaron.

"I thought my strength had reached the standard."

Hearing this, Acheron nodded and walked to Lin Shuang.

"In terms of strength alone, you are indeed good enough, but don't forget that the purpose of training is to sharpen your will, and fighting is just a means."

Sufficient experience can certainly strengthen a person's will, but time does not allow it after all.

Therefore, the life-and-death fight, Acheron's murderous intent, and even further radical training are all accelerated processes.

"So what's the next step in training?"

Although Lin Shuang didn't have any expectations for Acheron's teaching methods, the results were there after all, so Lin Shuang was still curious for the time being.

Then, Lin Shuang knew what "curiosity killed the cat" meant.

Because Acheron actually showed a very gentle smile:

"In the next step, fight me. I will strike with the intention of killing you."

How could she say such cold and scary words with that 37° mouth of hers?
