The Artifact Forger from the Beginning of Collapse

"It's only a matter of 40 star stones at most. I just didn't want to trouble Eirin Yagokoro," Chen Li said, sitting next to Kaguya Houraisan.

"What's so troublesome about this? Eirin won't do it herself anyway; she'll leave it to Reisen. Whether you give this job to Yukari Yakumo or Eirin, they're both making money without lifting a finger," Kaguya Houraisan said casually.

If Chen Li doesn't understand Yakumo Yukari, doesn't he understand Houraisan Kaguya?

That person is so lazy that they even delegate the task of maintaining the great barrier to their own shikigami.

"So... Kaguya, could you ask Eirin to buy me a carrot or a few rabbit furs from Inaba Tei?" Kaguya's reminder made Chen Li realize that the Lost Bamboo Forest also had its advantages.

"You want the Emperor's 'Lucky' attribute, right? Sure. You might even get the 'Shady Merchant' attribute as well." Kaguya Houraisan casually agreed to Chen Li's request.

"You're so clever!" Chen Li gave a thumbs up.

"Come on. You might as well give me a shoulder massage or find me another gaming partner." Kaguya Houraisan glanced at Chen Li.

"What's wrong with Silver Wolf? Are you not satisfied?" Chen Li placed his hand directly on Houraisan Kaguya's shoulder and began to massage it, asking at the same time.

"Hmm... It's not that I'm dissatisfied, it's just that I feel Silver Wolf's attack speed has slowed down a bit. I'm worried she won't be able to hold out for more than a few days," Kaguya Houraisan said with some concern.

"..." by Chen Li.

Kaguya Houraisan is wonderful everywhere.

The Eternal Power is very useful and never hesitates to help Chen Li. The only drawback is that it takes up a lot of game partners.

"Oh no, have I become a ghost?" Chen Li instantly fell into self-doubt.

108

Chapter 108 Holy crap, how can Chen Li be so wicked?!

"If I said I didn't do it on purpose, would you believe me?" Chen Li said somewhat awkwardly, looking at the tip of the long sword he had broken off.

"My...Muramasa?!" The black-haired girl standing opposite Chen Li showed a mixture of surprise, heartache, confusion, panic, and utter disbelief.

Seeing the girl opposite him who looked like she was about to cry from being bullied, Chen Li felt that he had been forced into this situation.

At that moment, the sword was only 0.01 centimeters away from my throat, but 10 seconds later, the owner of that sword would break down and cry!

Because I decided to fight bare-handed.

Although I have dealt with countless blades with my bare hands in my life, I think this time was the most perfect!

Chen Li's bond with his friends perfectly defended against what might have been an attempt to put a knife to his neck. Taking advantage of the fleeting opening, Chen Li slammed his hands onto the sword and twisted it sharply.

Theoretically speaking, in this situation, either Chen Li would be cut, or he would be bound to his friends and therefore wouldn't be cut.

Either Chen Li was stronger than the sword's owner and took the sword away.

But something unexpected happened.

Chen Li broke the knife in half.

"What kind of Imperial Arm is that? It broke with just one snap of my fingers! It's practically a menace! It's only because I broke it that you're in such bad luck. If someone else with ill intentions had broken it, you'd be in deep trouble. Quickly thank me." Chen Li pointed at Akame, holding the tip of Murasame's One-Shot Killing Blade.

"Thank you?" Akame said instinctively, her mind still reeling from the shock of what had happened.

"You're welcome." Chen Li nodded in satisfaction.

It seems the girl in front of me is sensible.

"Wait, who exactly are you? How could you break a Teigu, and a Murasame no less?" Akame quickly realized what was happening and jumped back, holding the broken Murasame and looking at Chen Li warily.

At the same time, Akame immediately sent out a gathering signal, attempting to gather all her companions together.

"Tsk, I didn't fool you." Chen Li curled his lip.

The girl before me is named Akame, the female protagonist of the anime *Akame ga Kill!*, with beautiful black hair and crimson eyes. She is the ace of the assassination squad 【Night Raid】.

The sword that Chen Li just broke was the Imperial Arm he used—One-Slash Kill: Murasame.

Being struck by this demonic sword will cause the wound to become infected with a cursed poison, leading to rapid death with no antidote. A single strike is fatal; even a graze will result in death. There is no cure; it was forged specifically to kill.

According to the lore, this knife originated from the Far East, and with the addition of materials from a legendary super-dangerous species and Orichalcos, it is very difficult to break.

At least it won't break just because Chen Li tries to snap it.

However, when Chen Li saw the Miracle Card that had been floating around him and faintly glowing, confirming that it had taken effect, he suddenly remembered something.

【Soul Breaker】(Miracle Card): Single-handedly caused the Shikon Jewel, which carries the fate of the world, to disappear prematurely, causing ripples in destiny.

Effect 2: Increases the destructive power of treasures that hold the fate of the world by 1.

Imperial Arms, especially those used by important characters in the main characters' group and the villains' group, are treasures that bear the fate of the world.

Murasame, the Imperial Arms, is even more heavyweight.

Akame was very wary of the person in front of her who could break her Imperial Arms, while Chen Li waited for the other party to summon all his companions.

This would conveniently prevent the Night Raid members, who inexplicably came to assassinate this nobleman today, from causing trouble for others.

Chen Li arrived in this world after receiving a reminder from the noble lord who had transformed into a ghost and was constantly patrolling the entire manor for safety.

Chen Li wasn't too worried about the safety of the others. In fact, Chi Tong didn't seem to intend to kill Chen Li at first. He just wanted to put a knife to Chen Li's neck and make him surrender and reveal his identity.

Night Raid is a rare group of assassins who still have a bottom line.

However, neither Arya nor her mother wanted Chen Li to die so easily, so he came out to stop them.

Isn't it irresponsible to let one person die?

As for whether Akame's companions will cause trouble for Chen Li after they gather together?

Chen Li had a certain degree of confidence in his abilities.

If I can't beat Jingliu, can't I beat you guys?

Moreover, the bond between me and my friends is unbreakable!

"You know what, you really have to admit. The description on this Imperial Arm is actually quite good." Chen Li looked at the broken tip of the sword in his hand and clicked his tongue in amazement.

[Ultimate Move], [Demon Blade], [Poison], [Enhancement]...

Although this Imperial Arm uses cursed poison to kill people rather than possessing a rule-based, ultimate killing power, in the world of Akame ga Kill!, it is no different from an ultimate killing, hence this entry, and it's very prominent.

Sometimes it's good that a world has limitations, because they can always elevate ordinary items into items with amazing attributes.

The brightness of an entry is affected by the intensity of the object itself, as well as by the meaning given by time, space, and fate.

"Be careful, you'll die if you cut yourself," Akame warned, holding the broken sword.

"Thank you for reminding me," Chen Li replied politely, holding the broken tip of the knife, which was about 15 centimeters long.

“No need to be polite. After all, you are a righteous man who broke into the minister’s manor alone last night. We should still show you some respect. So, since the minister is not dead and you are still alive, does that mean you have already started cooperating with the minister?” In a dark corner of the manor, a young man with green hair said with his head down.

The other party may have thought that being in the shadows would prevent them from seeing the whole picture, so they didn't bother to disguise themselves. However, they seemed to have underestimated Chen Li's eyesight, as Chen Li could see everything clearly.

"Huh, is it him? Lubbock." Akame was taken aback for a moment.

It's clear that Akame was just being polite.

"Don't just blurt out my name," the young man hidden in the shadows said with a dark expression.

Lubbock, one of the main members of Night Raid, and since Lubbock was not wanted by the Empire (those who saw what he looked like were all dead), also served as an intelligence gatherer.

Born into a wealthy local family, he joined the revolutionary army. His reason wasn't because he had any grand ambitions; it was purely because he was lusting after Captain Najenda's body.

Possessing the Teigu Thousand Transformations [Cross Tail], a thread-like Teigu that can be opened as a trap or a barrier to detect enemies, it also has the ability to restrain and cut.

It can be considered an Imperial Arm whose power increases with the imagination of its inception.

"So you're waiting in this nobleman's house today to stop us from punishing evil? But sorry, since we've taken the money, we have to do our job. We're going to kill this family."

A cat-eared older sister with beautiful blonde hair, golden eyes, and a great figure descended from the sky, as agile as a lion.

Leone, a bold and outspoken busty girl, is one of the main members of Night Raid.

Possesses the belt-type Imperial Arm: Beast King Transformation [Lion King], which allows him to transform into a beast and dramatically enhance his physical abilities.

"So he was also a target?" Hill, a bespectacled woman in a cheongsam with long purple hair and thighs tightly wrapped in white stockings, emerged from the shadows, carrying a pair of scissors as tall as a person.

Chen Li's eyes lit up when he saw the large pair of scissors.

This was Chen Li's goal for today. Even from a great distance, Chen Li could vaguely sense that the words on the scissors were quite bright.

Since it is one of the Imperial Arms of the main characters, its quality is naturally beyond question.

Everything is severed [heartbreaking].

The scissor-shaped Imperial Arms can cut through anything in the world. Due to its high hardness, it can also be used for defense.

"I don't think this guy is a bad person. Right?" A figure crashed heavily to the ground, and as the dust settled, a burly man with a pompadour appeared before the crowd, holding a long spear.

Brand, a man who might be gay.

Seeing the other person's sunny smile and their sparkling white teeth that shone even in the dark, Chen Li instinctively shuddered.

"So, give an explanation." The five members of Night Raid exchanged glances and said in unison.

"What are you babbling about? I'll show you my ultimate technique!" Chen Li clenched his fist and then gave the five people in front of him a malicious smile.

Distribute points, add more!

A pale symbol of justice appeared out of thin air in Chen Li's hand. He looked up at the moon in the sky, which radiated a cold, clear light.

Moonlight and Cloud Cavalry Swordplay are a perfect match!
