Genshin Impact: Life Simulator

"Careful Shenhe, he's a Liyue adeptus!"

Path blocked, Nathan mentally warned the girl.

This spear-wielding green-haired youth was far from harmless.

"Why is he stopping us?"

Though unaware of Xiao's true identity, Shenhe deeply resented his sudden appearance.

His presence disrupted her world with Nathan.

"I think... he's here for me."

Considering Xiao's game role, Nathan smiled bitterly.

"What?"

"He's a Liyue adeptus and Geo Archon's yaksha general. His job is eliminating remnants from the Archon War."

"Then I'll protect Nathan!"

"Don't fight him directly, he's an adeptus who survived the Archon War."

Seeing Shenhe grip the greatsword eagerly, Nathan hurriedly advised.

This battle-hardened yaksha wasn't someone amateur Shenhe could handle!

Among Liyue's surviving adepti, Xiao's attack power was unmatched.

"No... he's targeting Nathan, I won't allow it!"

Despite knowing his strength, Shenhe's eyes blazed with fighting spirit.

Just targeting Nathan made him an enemy to eliminate.

"Such killing intent, I've seen too much over millennia!"

Under her hateful gaze, Xiao merely raised his spear.

"Corrupted by gods' power, let me send you on."

Centuries of battle showed Xiao countless fallen to darkness.

Even for a girl like Shenhe, he wouldn't hold back.

"Won't allow... you to target my Nathan!"

Shenhe charged forward with her greatsword.

A meter from him, she leaped high.

Gripping the crimson sword, she attempted a heavy strike.

"Clang!!!"

Xiao easily blocked with one-handed spear against her two-handed grip.

"Too weak, let the demon within show itself!"

A casual swing sent Shenhe flying with her sword.

Just physical force, no elemental power used.

"Cough cough!"

Crashed in the valley, Shenhe coughed heavily.

"I can continue!"

She shakily rose, attempting another swing.

With the enemy targeting Nathan, fighting was her only option.

"Sigh, let me take over!"

Suddenly in her consciousness, she felt a hand on her shoulder.

A comforting warmth.

"Nathan..."

Trying to turn in the mental space, she saw only a silhouette.

"Leave it to me, Link start!"

Their third mental connection began.

"Finally showing yourself!"

Seeing Shenhe's changed aura, Xiao grew serious.

"First, I'm no demon or divine remnant!"

In physical form, Nathan tried reasoning.

Given his knowledge of Xiao, fighting would be fierce.

"Don't try corrupting me, I've heard too many such deceits. Your voices... always in my ears. Roaring, wailing... screaming for kills..."

Aiming his spear, Xiao glowed cyan.

"Seems this fight's unavoidable!"

Nathan said resignedly.

"Then come, World Ender!!!"

Against the experienced yaksha, Nathan immediately activated his strongest form.

Blood-red wings appeared again.

Crimson light soared, demon form fully released.

His control was clearly stronger than in the cave.

Wings spread, he floated mid-air.

"Unknown power, bloody, evil, ominous!"

Xiao muttered, watching the demonic form above.

"Whatever your power's source, any evil threatening Liyue shall face justice!"

He vanished from spot.

In foreign legends, two wind wheels would crush the world.

Xiao's supreme spearmanship became wind wheels rushing skyward.

"That won't defeat me!"

Nathan threw his sword up, then slammed it down to counter.

"Crack!!!"

The blood-energy impact knocked attacking Xiao down.

"Hmph, no ordinary spirit!"

Stabilizing, Xiao smiled slightly.

Few in Liyue could stop his attacks.

"Let's have a real battle, Bane of All Evil!"

Nathan watched Xiao release overwhelming presence.

His elemental burst, demonstrated in-game.

Donning his demon-conquering mask, showing the yaksha form that terrified evil.

Xiao gained great power but also pain, called Bane of All Evil.

Like World Ender, an enhancing state skill.

Xiao leaped skyward effortlessly.

Spear-wielding cyan storm, targeting Nathan below.

"Who'd face an ultimate head-on!!!"

In World Ender state, Nathan moved and flew gracefully.

Dodging Xiao's attack range instead of blocking.

"Boom!!!"

Though Nathan dodged, the ground couldn't.

Xiao's plunge created a crater dozens of meters deep.
