No matter how sharp a blade may be, it cannot cut through intangible glory.
Gu Tao transmigrates into the world of Genshin Impact, where he becomes a Hilichurl.
A sword-wielding Hilichurl sword saint with the skill "Fatal Strike."
Every slash is a critical hit, every strike deadly. And each time he swings his sword, his attributes automatically increase.
Though he has already gained a golden finger, he discovers that surviving is harder than he imagined. Torrential rain pours down, and the free city-state is surrounded by darkness: dark-skinned beasts swarm like locusts. Wherever they go, girls scream and homes burn.
"The Hilichurls are here! Help!"
Their furtive clubs are stained with blood.
Unclean footprints flow across the earth.
The dead tumble down in torrents, and the sea of blood wails without end. Flocks of dark crows wheel overhead, pecking at bulging, glistening eyes. Amid a bleak wilderness where corpses stand like marble, in a merciless world where humans and Hilichurls wage endless war, a Hilichurl sword saint with a sword can be neither human nor Hilichurl. He struggles to survive on this heavy earth, searching for a way forward.
"Gu Tao, between malice and malice, only a sword can cut through everything."
