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.
To be fair, his speed was very fast—even faster than the Grand Swordmaster.
