Although the method Ashu used to defeat the Grand Swordmaster was dishonorable, he had won in the end.
As long as you win, the entire process can be beautified; but if you lose, even the slightest flaw in your decisions will be magnified.
Listening to Ashu's words, at one moment, a vision of himself submitting flickered briefly in Antikythera's mind.
But almost immediately, he grew furious—how could such a humiliating image appear in his mind?
Someone merely said a few words, and yet he had actually entertained such a thought!
For him, this was a complete collapse of his self-respect.
So—
He didn't hesitate or hold back and wildly launched a furious assassination attempt against Ashu.
Ashu did not relax just because he possessed Reaper's Eye; like a lion hunting a rabbit, he used his full strength.
Besides, this guy had only lost once to the Grand Swordmaster, never failing any other missions.
