The infinite sword system has been mastered, and you say this is the dragon clan?

Chapter 108: Faith as the Raw Material, Fantasy as the Skeleton

Noble Phantasms are weapons praised in legends that can produce legendary effects once used.

This definition doesn't seem to give any useful information.

So to put it another way: essentially, the strength and effectiveness of a Noble Phantasm is based on the legends that people already have.

For example, the treasure of Vlad III "The Impaler" called "The King of Punishment" can deploy 20,000 stakes within the field, which can be used for attack, defense, movement, control, etc. This treasure was the result of his horrific deeds of cruelly piercing his enemies with sharp stakes during his lifetime, which was sublimated by people's repeated recitation.

Another treasure of Vlad III, the "Inheritance of Blood", originated from the "Dracula" series of novels created based on him, which gave rise to the image of "Vampire Dracula".

This image was also sublimated into his Noble Phantasm through widespread dissemination, allowing Vlad III to transform into a vampire when activating this Noble Phantasm.

Through this example, we can understand the composition of the treasure:

Whether it is a true historical allusion or a false story, it is always based on human beliefs as raw material, human fantasy as the skeleton, and sublimated on this spiritual foundation.

Emiya finally understood why the "Dragon Breaking Platform" was such a powerful treasure, but he couldn't understand the essence of "Projection Filling" from it and let himself bless the strength of the original owner of the treasure, Dayu...

It turns out that the missing Noble Phantasm is spiritual "sublimation"!
Sublimation is an important step in recasting the half-broken dragon platform until it is complete, and it is also a necessary condition for his skilled projection filling.

If Dayu's illusion had not suddenly appeared when fighting the enemy, Emiya would have almost missed the biggest flaw in this projection technology, which also determined the difference between a false Noble Phantasm projection and a Noble Phantasm projection that can truly achieve projection filling:

The projection of the Noble Phantasm in the past was merely a reproduction of material and technology, but when it comes to this stage of sublimation, it is a reproduction on the spiritual level!
To put it in traditional terms, the former has form but no spirit, while the latter has both form and spirit!
Successfully capturing the fleeting flash of inspiration, Emiya looked at Leviathan on the opposite side who was surprised by his recent performance.

He decisively infused his magic power into the Dragon-Breaking Platform again. Based on his familiarity with projections, he tried hard to recall Dayu's back to condense his fantasy and recast the sword of the treasure.

The Dragon-Breaking Platform responded with a joyful dragon roar, and the countless spiritual lights within the ancient sword also leaped for joy...

These are the souls within, the ancient and modern souls sealed in the sword, quietly providing a huge amount of faith. They are cheering and shouting the name of Dayu, and they are singing the mythical epic of slaying dragons and controlling floods in ancient times!

The huge spiritual energy is like countless trickles that converge into rivers!
"drink--!"

Emiya took the initiative to rush towards Leviathan, and at the same time, his magic circuits were overloaded to produce new magic power. Even his skin was flashing with glimmering patterns, and he swung the sword while infusing it with surging magic power.

This time, the mottled and cracked half of the sword no longer projected a complete sword body all at once, but began to "grow" slowly!
What will grow out will be a sword blade that is truly reborn!
This time, Duanlongtai is the real "Broken Sword Recast" - to slay evil and punish evildoers - Duanlongtai!

Boom——

With one blow, the vast deep sea was suddenly shocked and impacted, and at the same time was torn apart by the surging sword energy. Like a space fault, a brief and narrow vacuum was cut out between the heavy water bodies!

The streets of the ancient city below where the alchemy array was arranged were inevitably affected, and a dark abyss was forcibly cracked along the straight slashing line!

"What kind of power is this!?"

Leviathan was surprised. This was not the first time he had fought with Emiya. At that time, he was acting as a human puppet, so the transmission of power was limited, so he could only fight back and forth with Emiya. Judging from his performance, he felt that Emiya's strength was -

Yes, from the perspective of a juvenile human body, it is a bit high... but that's all.

Based on his full dragon body strength, Leviathan was confident that even if he gave up one claw, he would be able to beat Emiya to a pulp with wounds all over his body.

But this damn human suddenly and inexplicably took out new power. Even Leviathan, the Dragon King, couldn't understand the source of this sudden increase in power!
No, who the hell are you? The White King host from Japan? Or the more noble "three"?
Leviathan's brain was thinking frantically, but unfortunately he could not guess what kind of authority this was from Emiya's performance.

because……

----

"Because this is alchemy. And the advanced field of alchemy is not what Leviathan is good at. Well, Leviathan is thankful that he can figure out the equipment that Odin left behind."

Lu Mingze walked on the seabed in his small suit as if it were flat ground. He watched the battle from afar and turned a blind eye to it, because the observer had already foreseen what the final outcome would be.

He stood on the highest point of this ancient underwater city - a square surrounded by circular columns, but no one could detect him.

Lu Mingze walked to the forgotten control array, gently pulled out the crooked replica of Kungunir that was standing there, and collected it as if nothing had happened.

"Spiritual Reforging (one of the Seven Kingdoms of Alchemy), Emiya, you have glimpsed a whole new corner of the field of excellence." "Xia Yu and Yao Ji, the two forgers, at most touched the edges of Spiritual Reforging. Their design drawings for the Dragon Severing Platform were indeed ingenious, but in the end they only succeeded in reforging a semi-finished product like the 'Word Spirit·Nine Infants'."

"This person, Emiya, has taken this step directly into the realm of spiritual reshaping..."

When Lu Mingze looked up again, the sword in Emiya's hand was as incomparable as the vast light falling from the sky, as if he had really reproduced the mythical fighting power.

Leviathan uses its endless water resources as its arsenal, continuously creating giant icebergs, ice spears, ice arrows, ice knives, etc., which look like an icy-white underwater frenzy from a distance.

However, so far, apart from slowing down Emiya's pace of destroying the ancient dragon city, all other results have been minimal.

"First, 'conceptual arming' is used to forge the empty concepts into tangible entities and complete the foundation of reality. Then, 'spiritual recasting' is used to sublimate the spirit, condense the ethereal beliefs and legends into the crystallization of fantasy, and finally shine into reality."

“…This is the Noble Phantasm.”

With Lu Mingze's level, it is easy for him to analyze the essence of Emiya's series of actions.

"Using legends and beliefs is something that Odin, Norton and other dragon kings have never thought of... Oh, even the Black Emperor has never considered it. It can be said to be a groundbreaking feat."

"Haha, after all, the dragon race is not as weak as humans. They will never worship heroic stories and legends."

“Belief in miracles, longing for heroes, and praising legends are the spiritual strength that only the weak, that is, humans who are fragile by nature, need.”

"Unfortunately, before this, although the dragons had a deep understanding of alchemy, they did not need faith and fantasy. Although humans could not do without faith and fantasy, they had never entered the realm of profound alchemy."

"And now, with Emiya, a natural alchemist, it is only natural that this world would give birth to a Noble Phantasm, no, to the 'Origin of Mythology'..."

Lu Mingze suddenly stopped when he thought of this. It seemed that he should remind Norton.

At this time, Norton probably still had no idea about the concept of the Heroic Spirit's Noble Phantasm...

----

Sword winds howled, ice waves roared, a corner of the mythical battle began grandly on the bottom of the sea at this moment!
The amorphous water body was torn and cut like gel or jelly by the transparent giant blade transformed by the sword energy.

After Lu Mingze pulled out the replica of Kungunir, the tearing of the Nibelungen space actually began to stabilize, and the phenomenon of water bodies divided by space no longer continued to be generated.

But the scene of tearing the vast ocean current before his eyes made the situation seem no different from before!
Countless ice flowers blossomed, and countless ice spikes shuttled chaotically in the ocean current like a dense transparent rainstorm. This was a "little trick" that Leviathan made from time to time... He had put aside his ridiculous arrogance of a "head-on confrontation" and tried to take advantage of the environment at all costs.

Although Shigong sensed the danger in his mind, he did not take it lightly. He held high the Dragon-Breaking Platform which had "grown"... to be more precise, had been cast into a complete form, and a mighty blue flame flew out. Countless giant flaming dragons jumped out from the sword without being swung or slashed.

The pale blue flames spread rapidly, heating up countless seawater and causing it to evaporate. The water vapor instantly produced a large number of white steam bubbles, which were densely distributed in all directions. The spread of heat easily blocked the dense barrage of transparent ice spikes.

At the same time, these endless white foams continued to extend, like vast white clouds blocking the view and spreading towards the empty sea area and the ancient city area.

It's like a fog that makes it impossible to see the inside.

Leviathan moved his dragon body cautiously and retreated flexibly. His giant body of several dozen meters was quite fast, even more agile than a human larva. In addition, as the king of water, his speed in the sea water was much faster than other dragons of the same kind.

As for Emiya, who had been staying in the water, he was always within his perception range. But this strange human being actually thought of this method at this moment - it seemed that he had hidden in an air bubble that had evaporated the water and was filled with fire elements.

It doesn't matter, Leviathan thought, this human won't keep himself in a big oven, he will come out eventually.

Suddenly, Leviathan looked down sharply. There was no mistake, it was this location!
A stream of extremely hot and terrifying flames tightly wrapped around the sword wind, pushing away the pervasive water with incredible skill. The ferocious blue fire opened its huge fang-like mouth to devour anyone it could find, wanting to swallow up the Dragon King all at once!
"Don't underestimate my sensory network!"

Leviathan instantly caught the attack from the water current, and with his speed, he was able to flap his wings lightly and avoid it along the water current.

But the next second, the flames that were supposed to pass by exploded! This was not a direct attack, but a gorgeous bombardment!
What a boring trick! Leviathan, who was still calm, had white ice surging around him. He instantly placed a thick ice-white giant shield around himself to block and consume the spreading heat from the flames.

Blocked?
No, Leviathan had miscalculated.

In another direction that he didn't notice, Melyusina, who had already arrived at the battlefield, threw a decisive sword at this moment.
