However, the weakness of the Blade of Light is also obvious. When facing opponents of the same or even higher level, as long as the opponent can block the Blade of Light, it is difficult to overcome them with pure swordsmanship alone, and there is no further killing move.
Especially when facing opponents of the Water God School, when the strength of the two is not much different, the swordsmanship of the Sword God School will find it difficult to break through the Water God School's defense.
Of course, this only applies when facing a master swordsman of the Water God School.
Shirou is currently facing a group of beastmen warriors. Although these people are not weak, they might even be able to defeat a Saint-level expert if a real battle were to take place.
For example, a Water Saint, a Northern Saint, or a Saint-level magician...
However, they are the only ones who cannot defeat the Sword Saint of the Sword God style.
As mentioned before, the Sword God style is all about killing when it comes out.
A sheer number of people is utterly ineffective against the Sword God style. No matter how many people you pile up, if you can't withstand the Light Blade's ultimate technique, defeat is inevitable.
"ended."
After knocking all the beast warriors to the ground, Shirou silently sheathed his sword.
He had no ill intentions towards the orc warriors; the reason he attacked them so severely was purely to vent his anger over the arrow he had just received.
In reality, he still needed to find out the whereabouts of the mastermind from the orcs.
So he looked at the orc warrior who was lying on the ground and said quietly, "Who told you where this place is? This place is so well hidden, no one could have found it."
"Hmph, why should I tell you!"
The man with animal ears mistakenly believed Shirou was the kidnapper and had no intention of cooperating.
Shirou currently has no way to prove himself, so he can only start using his own mind to think about the possible scenarios.
First of all, this was a commission that Giles made for himself from the very beginning. The other party offered to cross the sea in exchange for Giles and Rachel Rudd coming to rescue the children who had been captured by the smuggling organization.
However, Giles doesn't benefit from this, and the other party doesn't seem to be a righteous ally, a fact that Shirou can clearly sense.
Most importantly, almost immediately after Giles issued the commission, he encountered the Orcish warriors and clashed with them.
The fact that both sides arrived at the same time is hardly a coincidence.
What if Giles's goal was simply to provoke an encounter between himself and the orc warriors, leading to a conflict, in order to achieve some objective?
Realizing this, Shirou immediately understood something. He looked at the beastman in front of him and shouted, "Was it Giles who called you here?!"
"How did you..."
The orc man's subconscious reaction revealed the whole truth.
Shirou made the judgment almost without any suspense: it was all Giles's scheme.
The other party deliberately assigned him a task so that he and Rijerud would fight against the orcs.
In particular, the other side specifically chose Rijerud, a member of the Spelud tribe, probably intending to exploit the Spelud tribe's bad reputation to directly damage relations between the two sides.
Fortunately, Rajirud has done his best to conceal the Spelud tribe's image, and the other party's personality makes it difficult for him to directly clash with strangers.
Even under the current circumstances, Giles has still achieved his goal.
Because Shirou replaced Rigel and defeated all the beastmen warriors.
Everything went according to Giles's wishes!
“Galls…!”
After figuring everything out, Shirou didn't hesitate any longer. He directly removed the eyepatch covering his right eye and activated his clairvoyant magic eye.
With Shirou's current adaptability, he can now control his Mystic Eyes to observe any situation within a range of several kilometers.
The only side effect is that it consumes too much magic power.
Shirou therefore rarely uses it.
But this time, in order to deal with Giles, this schemer, and stop him from committing some evil deed, he was willing to endure the side effects.
"Snapped!"
With the full activation of his Clairvoyance, Shirou's vision suddenly traversed thousands of miles.
From Zant Port to the Great Forest, all the scenes began to appear in Shirou's eyes one after another in sequence.
However, given the vast area, finding someone you don't know well is obviously too difficult.
Yes, Shirou's ability to activate his clairvoyance also depends on how familiar he is with the target.
If you want to accurately identify a person, unless you are very familiar with them and have had a lot of contact with them, it is likely that you will find it difficult to make a quick judgment.
Shirou's interactions with Giles lasted only a few days, which was far from enough for him to quickly pinpoint Giles' location.
But Shirou soon discovered that he no longer needed to worry about where Giles was.
When he used his clairvoyance to observe the great forest, he discovered that a corner of the entire forest was already engulfed in raging fire.
Judging from its location, it was undoubtedly a settlement of the orcs!
"Using us to hold back the main orc force while you attack their homeland! Giles, you bastard!"
Shirou's expression turned serious; he had fully understood Giles's plan.
Without further thought, he headed straight for the direction from which the fire had started in the Thousand-Mile Eye, only to find that the white dog and the sacred beast had followed him.
"Wait! Don't leave!"
Upon seeing Shirou's actions, the beastman hurriedly scrambled to his feet.
He was clearly the strongest of the orcs present, having taken a hit from Shirou's Blade of Light and still being able to move.
"If you can still move, then come along."
Shirou didn't interrupt the beastman's thoughts, nor did he bother to explain further. He simply intended to let the facts speak for themselves.
And so, Shirou began his chase with the beastman.
Shirou did not slow down, rushing towards the beastmen's settlement at top speed.
The beastman, on the other hand, was doing his best to keep up, even appearing to be beyond his limits, barely managing to stay ahead of Shirou.
Shirou began to admire the other party to some extent, but he still did not slow down.
After all, if he had been a step slower, the entire orc race might have been in an extremely dangerous situation.
Finally, after running for who knows how long, a vast rainforest appeared before Shirou's eyes, along with a raging fire that seemed to be burning the entire forest.
"What, what is that? What happened?"
The beastman following Shirou was shocked.
He was already exhausted from running too much, and when he saw his home engulfed in flames, he immediately went into a state of mental breakdown.
"Did you do this?! It was all part of your plan!"
In his anger, he directly targeted Shirou.
Shirou had no intention of refuting this, and simply tried his best to find Giles and the others.
Just then, a young child with cat ears appeared before Shirou.
The child, coughing and rubbing his eyes, staggered toward them, probably having inhaled black smoke accidentally.
At this moment, a tree whose branches and leaves were already engulfed in red flames was slowly falling.
The cat-eared child noticed and looked up, but was stunned by the suddenness of the event.
"Danger!"
The orc man cried out in alarm, but was powerless to change reality.
Shirou didn't say anything more. He immediately activated his enhancement magic to strengthen his legs and simultaneously wrapped his fighting spirit around them, unleashing an exaggerated speed.
"boom!"
Before the tree fell, Shirou successfully caught the beastman child and carried him out of the danger zone.
"Thank you, thank you..."
The beastman child looked at Shirou and blinked in surprise.
"fine."
Shirou silently shook his head, signaling for him to go to the beastman's side.
This scene left the orc man completely stunned.
Even if he was slow-witted, he finally grasped the situation and realized that the human boy in front of him was not his enemy.
"Why...why...could it be that Giles lied to us?!"
"Yes."
Upon seeing the beastman, Shirou finally understood the situation and quietly said, "Gals must have taken advantage of our battle to launch a sneak attack on the beastman settlement. We need to find him quickly and kill him!"
"But, but such a big fire..."
"This is your home, don't you even have this much courage?"
"..."
Shirou's words finally brought the beastman back to his senses.
The latter took a deep breath, revealing a resolute, respectful, and grateful expression, and looked at Shirou: "I'm sorry, it was my fault. I misunderstood you. I sincerely apologize to you, human warrior."
“Apologies are meaningless. What we need to do now is kill the culprit, Giles!”
"That's right, you're right!"
The orc man looked at the raging forest and fully understood the situation. "I am Justaf, the orc warrior captain. May I ask your name, my benefactor?"
"Shirou Greirat".
"Thank you, Lord Shirou. I apologize again for my impulsive behavior earlier!"
The beastman warrior chieftain, Justaf, apologized to Shirou again, and this time he no longer showed hostility towards Shirou, but instead looked indifferently at the burning settlement.
At this moment, the two of them could see many smuggling gangs carrying weapons, chasing and killing orc civilians.
Neither Shirou nor Justaf could contain their killing intent!
Chapter 212 Unleashing a Range-Bound Shooting Technique! Shirou's Night of Carnage!
The beastman village was completely engulfed in flames, but fortunately Shirou arrived quickly enough that the fire had not yet spread to the center of the village.
Even so, the entire orc race was plunged into a state of great chaos.
The orcs were fleeing in all directions, screaming and howling as they dodged and ran from the fire and the attackers who came under the cover of night.
Some orc warriors tried to fight back, but because orcs are naturally afraid of fire, they could barely muster even a fraction of their strength in such an environment.
Under the cover of darkness and flames, smugglers swarmed and kidnapped orc children, attempting to take them away as slaves.
The orc parents were furious but helpless. Some orc mothers even tried to save their children but were mercilessly hacked to death by smugglers.
The reason why the orcs' resistance was so weak and ineffective was mainly due to this fire.
The flames not only obscured vision and burned the orc warriors' fur, but also produced thick smoke.
For the orcs, their race has a natural advantage: they possess extremely exaggerated sensory abilities, with vision and hearing far surpassing those of ordinary humans, allowing them to move freely even at night.
However, the thick smoke impaired the sensitivity of their eyes and noses, and the smugglers, with their mouths and noses covered by cloth strips, were completely unaffected by the environment, easily driving the orc warriors to the brink of despair.
In such a situation, if one knew how to use powerful water magic, they might be able to extinguish the fire directly.
However, Shirou is not capable of casting magic of that level.
Therefore, he had no choice but to rely on his own strength to kill people with his bare hands.
Under normal circumstances, this is undoubtedly a very difficult thing. Even for the Sword God style, killing an enemy in such a complex environment would require a great deal of effort.
Most importantly, this will take a lot of time, and even if all the enemies are successfully killed afterward, the orc settlement will pay a heavy price.
Therefore, the current competition is about the speed of killing!
Is it faster for smugglers to slaughter the beastmen, or for Shirou to kill the smugglers?
Everything will depend on this.
Fortunately, Shirou never cared about killing people. He didn't mind getting blood on his hands, and he also had the means to kill enemies at an extremely fast speed.
"Justav, where is the highest point here?"
When the beastman warrior captain Justaf was in a state of anxiety but unable to take immediate action due to the flames, Shirou asked him a question.
