In Genshin Impact, I'm really not Muzan.

Before the shogunate soldiers could react, five sword energies slammed into them, blasting nearly half of them away, some even dying on the spot.

The obvious disparity in strength instilled a sense of fear in the remaining people, but they still chose to charge towards Suzumiya Yu.

Ryou Miyako didn't stand on ceremony with them, quickly wielding her sword and taking them down one by one.

Before long, only three of the original twenty-odd shogunate soldiers remained standing, but they had all lost their will to fight, and even the hands holding their weapons were trembling.

There were definitely more than just these people in the Kujo Jinya shogunate army; the remaining soldiers were still on their way here. But the three of them knew very well that they would be killed before reinforcements arrived.

Unexpectedly, Suzumiya Yuu did not rush to kill them. Instead, he walked to the body of each shogunate soldier he killed, touched them with his hands, and then moved on to the next person after a few seconds.

This action puzzled the three of them, but they weren't stupid; they knew exactly what they should do at that moment.

Run! Run without looking back! Escape before that devil changes his mind! You must survive!

"Tsk, two more people to go." After devouring the last one, Ryouji looked up at the sky.

With more than ten minutes to go before sunrise, he thought that the people he had killed earlier were enough to accumulate the final points, but he didn't expect that he was still short of two people.

Seeing that the three remaining people were about to escape, he stood up to give chase, but an arrow suddenly flew over and hit his left shoulder accurately.

A stinging sensation came from the spot where the arrow had hit, but that wasn't all. The arrowhead, imbued with lightning element, exploded the next second.

In an instant, blood mist dispersed, and Ryou Miyako couldn't help but let out a scream.

The scream made the three people who were running away stop in their tracks. They turned around and saw a scene they would never forget.

Due to the explosion of the arrow, a huge gash was blasted from her left shoulder all the way to her left chest, and flesh could even be seen writhing inside.

Suzumiya Yu's head was fine, but half of the demon mask on his face was blown off, revealing a small part of his face.

More importantly, even with such a serious injury, Ryou Miyako was still unharmed. In fact, a few seconds later, the wound on his body began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it was completely restored in no time, showing no signs of injury at all.

The three were stunned by this scene, and for a moment they even forgot to run away.

"You dared to attack Kujo Jinya all by yourself. If you have that kind of guts, you must have been prepared to die, right?"

A woman's voice rang out, and Suzumiya Yu, who had just recovered from the excruciating pain, looked over. Then, for the first time, his expression changed.

"This is troublesome, how could it be her?"

Suzumiya Yuu twitched the corner of his mouth. He recognized the woman; she was a character from the game, and also a general of the shogunate army—Kujou Sara.

Chapter Three: Overcoming the Sunlight (Please add to your favorites and recommend!)

The appearance of Kujo Sara reversed the situation on the field.

Suzumiya Yu didn't think she couldn't beat her. After all, the special constitution of demons, which allows them to ignore pain and physical strength, meant that humans could never defeat demons when their strength was similar.

But the situation is a bit special now. The sun is about to rise in ten minutes, and he must devour the last two people before that.

Therefore, he did not intend to waste words with Kujo Sara.

"Thunder Breathing - First Form..."

However, just as he was getting into position and preparing to finish off the two men, Kujo Sara suddenly shot an arrow at him.

This forced him to stop practicing his breathing technique.

Damn it! Interrupting spellcasting, you can't take a joke, huh!

Suzumiya Yuu roared inwardly, but outwardly he remained calm.

Kujo Sara is a person who is never careless. She will not underestimate any opponent, and she will never allow herself to make a mistake and be seized by the enemy.

She could see that Suzumiya Yu was desperate to kill the remaining two, so she wouldn't let him succeed.

On the other hand, Suzumiya Yu was well aware that if she didn't deal with Kujo Sara first, he would definitely have no chance of succeeding.

"Let's see if we can take her down in a second."

With that thought in mind, the next second, Suzumiya Yu rushed towards Kujo Sara.

Kujo Sara is an archer, whose biggest weakness is that she cannot engage in close combat with enemies, a weakness that even the Eye of God cannot overcome.

Therefore, as long as you can get close to her, you can defeat her before sunrise.

If there's not enough time, I could even kill Kujo Sara and then devour her.

The stronger the target, the more points you will gain from devouring it. If you devour a master like Kujo Sara, you will get at least 100 points.

Thinking of this, Ryoumi couldn't help but lick her lips.

Over the past year, he has devoured several holders of the Eye of God, but someone as strong as Kujo Sara is the first one he has encountered.

"Do you want to close the distance and then crush me?"

On the other side, Kujo Sara saw through Suzumiya Yu's intention, so while she kept drawing the bowstring and shooting arrows, she would also step back.

But the opponent was too fast. Most of the arrows she shot were deflected by Suzumiya Yuu's sword. Even if they occasionally hit, he would act as if nothing had happened and continue forward.

This is simply not something a human could do.

So, not long after, Suzumiya Yuu rushed up to Kujo Sara.

At this distance, Kujo Sara knew that the bow in her hand was useless, so she picked up an arrow and thrust it fiercely at Suzumiya Yu's forehead.

Suzumiya Yu caught the arrow with one hand, snapped it in two, and then swung the sword in her other hand at her opponent.

Just as the blade was about to cleave Kujo Sara in two, her body suddenly transformed into a ball of lightning energy and vanished from the spot.

When she reappeared, she had already created a relatively safe distance between herself and Suzumiya Yu.

However, a ball of lightning elemental light left behind suddenly exploded.

"Elemental Combat Skill: Raven Feather Tengu Thunder Summoning Spell!"

This time, the demon mask on Ryou's face was blown to pieces, revealing his incredibly handsome face.

Kujo Sara was slightly taken aback when she saw his appearance, because she never expected that someone who had recently gone on a killing spree at Kujo Jinya would be a boy who looked to be only ten years old.

Yuu Ryou seized the opportunity and, while Sara Kujo was momentarily stunned, he used a breathing technique in a very short time.

"Thunder Breathing - Third Form: Gathering Mosquitoes into Thunder!"

Suzumiya Yu rushed in front of Kujo Sara, and this time, he did not give her a chance to use her elemental combat skills.

The sword swung incessantly in his hand, and Suzumiya Yu spun rapidly around Kujo Sara, leaving wavy golden lightning trails in her wake.

By the time Kujo Sara realized what was happening, she was already surrounded by golden lightning.

If she were to let the lightning bolts gather like that, she would undoubtedly die instantly.

Therefore, under these circumstances, there is no longer any need for Kujo Sara to keep it.

She pulled a feather fan from her person and raised it high above her head. At the same time, three pairs of black wings appeared on her back.

"Elemental Burst - Magnificent Thousand Paths!"

A bolt of lightning struck from the sky, hitting the golden lightning bolts and spreading outwards.

Before long, the golden lightning bolts dissipated because they could not withstand the powerful energy.

But Kujo Sara discovers that Suzumiya Yu has disappeared.

Two screams rang out, and Kujo Sara's gaze followed the direction of the sound. She discovered that Suzumiya Yuu had taken advantage of her being trapped to mercilessly kill the last two people and successfully devour them.

At this moment, there were less than five minutes until sunrise. Ryou looked up and found that the eastern sky was already bright, and the outline of the sun could even be vaguely seen.

He sensed something was wrong and knew he couldn't stay there any longer.

Sheathing her sword, Suzumiya Yu ran headlong into the shadowy woods.

"damn it!"

Kujo Sara didn't want to see him get away like that, so she drew her bow and shot arrow after arrow at Suzumiya Yuu.

Suzumiya Yu's body was pierced by an arrow, with the arrowhead protruding from his front after entering from his back.

But he had no time to deal with such things. As shadows of various things began to appear on the ground, he could even feel a burning pain in his back.

Fortunately, Suzumiya Yu managed to hide in a cave just before the sun fully rose, a place where he would be completely protected from the sunlight and where he would be absolutely safe.

Covered in cold sweat and panting heavily, Suzumiya Yu, having regained her senses, pulled out all the arrows stuck in her body and broke them one by one.

He glanced at the light outside the cave, still feeling lingering fear.

He knew very well that if he had been any slower, he would have been burned to death by the sunlight. His escape was a close call.

After the thrilling experience, he was about to do what he had been looking forward to for a long time.

Opening the system shop, Suzumiya Yu spent the 10,000 points she had painstakingly accumulated to redeem Overcoming Sunshine.

【Ding! 】

[Redeem successful!]

You can now move around in the sunlight!

After successfully exchanging the money, Ryou walked to the cave entrance and, looking at the sunlight so close at hand, carefully stretched out his arm.

My skin was exposed to sunlight, but I didn't feel any pain; instead, I felt a warm sensation.

After confirming that the sun would no longer threaten her life, Suzumiya Yu emerged from the cave.

He came to a relatively open space, opened his arms, faced the sun, and felt the long-lost sunshine.

But he knew that overcoming the sunlight was only the first step in becoming the Ghost King. Next, he would begin the second step of his plan.

Chapter Four: Heavily Guarded (Please add to your favorites and recommend)

"Lady Kujo Sara!"

Inside the Kujou Fortress, the belated reinforcements finally arrived.

"This..." The devastated ground and the corpses of the shogunate soldiers lying haphazardly on the ground made everyone unable to believe that what they were seeing was real.

What is Kujo Jinya? It was a camp where the elite troops of the shogunate army gathered, and the resistance forces were so badly defeated that they were unable to even cross Kannazuka and could only retreat to Hachiyun Island.

But what about now? Kujo Jinya was attacked by an unknown enemy, resulting in heavy losses. Even the general Kujo Sara couldn't prevent the tragedy from happening.

"Lady Kujo Sara, who did this?" A shogunate soldier approached Kujo Sara; his rank was probably not low among all the soldiers.

Kujo Sara remained silent. She did not answer the soldier's question because even she herself did not know who had attacked Kujo Jinya.
