Shirou was genuinely surprised by Kyrie's exaggerated swordsmanship.
Although he had a feeling that Kyrie Irvine's swordsmanship was not simple, he never thought that the other party could wield a sword with such exaggerated destructive power.
This is undoubtedly the true mark of a powerful swordsman.
Only those who have truly reached the pinnacle of the Sword God style can wield such flawless swordsmanship.
Shirou became increasingly aware of the gap between himself and such a talented person.
However, he did not despair, because he had already realized his weakness in his previous battles with the Dragon God and the Sword God.
My talent is nothing compared to that of the Dragon God or the Sword God, and even compared to geniuses like Kyrie Irwin and Alice, it's like the difference between a firefly and the moon.
He didn't have any real talent; he was just an ordinary person.
However, Shirou is by no means a true mortal; he possesses something that even geniuses lack—
"Projection, start!"
Although the projection is only now starting verbally, Shirou's projection actually began much earlier!
The weapon he wanted to project was none other than the eternally distant golden sword that had been forged in the Holy Kingdom of Milis!
As Shirou's first divinely forged weapon, the Eternal Golden Sword is almost infinitely close to the original weapon, Excalibur.
It is essentially an enhancement of the originally fragile Golden Sword of Victory, giving it a quality no less than that of Excalibur.
Weapons of this caliber are generally impossible for Shirou to project.
He was unable to project the weapons created by the gods.
This is a fact that Shirou realized a long time ago.
However, while all of this is true, it doesn't mean there's no possibility that things can't be changed.
The reason Shirou was unable to project divine weapons in the past was that his eyes could not comprehend their structure. Just like Gilgamesh's Ea, he would feel a stinging pain in his eyes with just a glance. He could not only not imitate it, but he could not even understand its structure, so he could not complete the projection.
But the eternally distant golden sword, a divine weapon forged by Shirou himself, has every single detail of its composition etched in Shirou's mind.
Therefore, Shirou could project the eternally distant golden sword and replicate the first divine weapon he had forged in his hand in an exact replica!
"Snapped!"
As the essence of magic condensed in his hand, a longsword shrouded in golden light appeared in Shirou's hand!
Moreover, at the same time as the projection, Shirou also loaded the projection through his weapon.
Since the eternally distant golden sword is essentially an enhanced version of the invincible golden sword, its core is still the weapon that King Arthur used in his youth.
Shirou can thus directly master Saber Artoria's swordsmanship, and even her strongest ability—magic release—through projection loading!
"Boom!"
After completing all the preparations, Shirou had no more time to think.
He knew that all he had to do now was to use his strongest sword to fight against Kyrie Il's swordsmanship!
Regardless of winning or losing, this is the best he can do!
"Holy Sword, Release!"
"Its name is the eternally distant Golden Sword!"
Shirou swung his weapon, and countless particles formed naturally around the blade. As the blade sliced through the air, they transformed into extreme light waves that pierced through everything!
No one even had a moment to react.
A blazing and frenzied wave of light erupted from Shirou's hand, carrying astonishing wind pressure and engulfing the entire training grounds of the Sword Sanctuary into a vortex!
Those present couldn't even see what happened in that instant.
When they came to their senses, everything in front of them had already been swallowed up by an endless rain of light.
The entire dueling arena of the training ground was torn apart by an extremely exaggerated wave, and the battle undoubtedly came to a complete end amidst the scorched ruins!
Chapter 274 Defeating the Sword King! A Skill That Shocks the Holy Land!
Shirou projected the eternally distant golden sword, using the power of this divinely created weapon to directly block the sword aura unleashed by Gilead, and even cleaved Gilead in two with a single strike.
After the battle ended, he was so frightened that he hurriedly got up from the ground and went to check on Kyrie Il's condition, worried that the other party had been seriously injured by the sword strike.
Shirou had already done his best to hold back, because he knew how terrifying the power of divine weapons was. Even someone as inexperienced as him could unleash destructive power to destroy everything. However, despite his best efforts to suppress the power, he still found it difficult to control. The power of the eternally distant golden sword was too terrifying. Even under extreme suppression, it still released unimaginable terrifying energy.
The inevitable result was that the entire arena was almost completely destroyed into ruins, and Kyrie Illya was swallowed up by the light wave, his fate unknown.
Although the battle has progressed to this point where neither side can hold back any longer and will inevitably unleash attacks to destroy the other, Shirou would still feel deep regret and be unable to accept his actions if he accidentally killed Kyrie.
So as soon as Shirou recovered, he immediately went to check on Gilead's condition.
Under Shirou's watchful gaze, after the smoke from the distant battle dissipated, a figure appeared before everyone.
The person was not Kyrie I, who was swallowed by the light wave, but rather a sword god who stood alone in place, holding a demonic sword.
Behind the Sword God, Kyrie Irving knelt on one knee, bewildered.
With the Sword God as the dividing line, the terrifying shockwave created by the eternally distant golden sword was split in two, leaving a mark on the ground that resembled a large Y. Although it caused extremely terrifying destruction to the scene, it did not have the slightest impact on the Sword God or Kyrie Irvine.
It's easy to imagine that Shirou's Eternal Golden Sword, though terrifyingly powerful, was completely blocked by the Sword God, which also protected Kyrie Illya's safety.
For a moment, all the swordsmen around fell silent.
The intensity of the battle just now truly took everyone by surprise.
When Shirou was challenged and forced to face a Sword King as his opponent, he surprisingly managed to defeat the Sword King Kyrie Irvine, displaying a strength that surprised everyone.
In the end, even the Sword God had to intervene to stop Shirou's sword.
If it weren't for the intervention of the Sword God to help Gilead, Gilead would probably have been reduced to ashes by Shirou's sword.
Given this situation, no one dares to underestimate Shirou anymore.
Although many swordsmen still believe that Shirou, a swordsman who does not use the Sword God Style, is not qualified to be tested as a Sword Saint, they are not going to say anything at this point.
After all, even many of the sword masters present were not confident in taking the final sword strike from Shirou.
Only a swordsman at the level of a Sword Emperor would have the confidence to withstand that final sword strike.
"Get up, I've already blocked it for you."
While everyone remained silent, each with their own thoughts, the Sword God slowly sheathed his sword and gestured for Kyrie Il to rise from behind him.
"Thank you so much, Master..."
Gilead struggled to his feet.
Although she wasn't directly hit by Shirou's sword, she clearly felt the terrifying pressure emanating from the raging torrent.
Kyrie Irvine didn't think he could withstand that level of attack. Even if he used all his skills, he probably wouldn't be able to save his life and would be severely injured instantly.
The Sword God's intervention was remarkably timely, protecting Gilead in an extremely dangerous situation.
"Gilead, you lost the fight just now."
"The disciple understands."
When the Sword God announced his defeat, Kyrie Irving was not saddened; instead, he showed a look of delight.
This proves that her judgment of Shirou was correct. Shirou is indeed a genius full of potential. Although his talent may not be swordsmanship talent as understood by normal people, as long as Shirou can continue on the right path, he will surely become an extraordinary strongman.
Although Kyrie Ian did not consider himself Shirou's mentor, he was still proud of Shirou's excellence.
"Since you lost, it means this kid passed the test. From today onwards, this guy is a sword saint. Starting tomorrow, I will personally teach him swordsmanship."
The Sword God seemed unsurprised by the result and calmly made the judgment he had prepared in advance.
Upon hearing the Sword God's decision, all the swordsmen present froze.
They never expected that the Sword God would actually acknowledge Shirou's status as a Sword Saint.
Although Shirou defeated the Sword King Kyrie Irwin, which can be said to have exceeded expectations, his opponent did not use the Sword God Style swordsmanship from beginning to end. Instead, he used techniques from other schools.
The fact that a swordsman with no foundation in the Sword God style could become a Sword Saint was unacceptable and intolerable to the Sword Saints present.
Most importantly, the Sword God even stated that he would personally teach Shirou swordsmanship. In other words, Shirou would become the Sword God's personal disciple. No one has received this honor since Kyrie Irwin, making him the most outstanding disciple among all disciples.
"No, Sword God, are you mistaken? Sword Saint is a special title that can only be bestowed upon those who have mastered the Blade of Light! How could it be granted to swordsmen of the Water God School and the Northern God School..."
Because Shirou was wearing heavy armor, he was unable to use the Light Blade during the battle, so most people present did not know that Shirou actually knew how to use the Light Blade.
That's why she was so dissatisfied with Shirou becoming a sword saint.
The Sword God didn't offer much explanation. He simply said coldly, "This kid has already fulfilled my request by defeating a Sword King. If you're still not satisfied, go find a Sword King to challenge now."
“But…but Nina was humiliated before…”
"There's no 'buts' about it. The Holy Land of Swords reveres the sword, and there's no other logic to it. Even I, the so-called Sword God, didn't have to learn any special skills to become one."
Sword God Galfarion spoke very casually, "Whether it's the Water God School, the Northern God School, or even someone who isn't a swordsman, as long as they can defeat me, the position of Sword God will be theirs! Don't even think that you'll be different after obtaining some title. A title is just a name, it doesn't represent true strength. If the Sword Saint of the Sword God School is not even as good as a mere Water Saint, then don't call yourself a Sword Saint anymore!"
"..."
The Sword God's words made the many Sword God-style swordsmen present tremble with fear, and they dared not utter another word.
No one else is saying anything about Shirou becoming a sword saint anymore, because they all realize that they are saying it out of jealousy.
Jealousy dulls the sword, and swordsmen know this.
After criticizing these guys who were blinded by their titles, the Sword God didn't give Shirou a kind look either. He waved his hand coldly and said, "Although you have become my disciple, it would be too shameful to call yourself a Sword Saint if you can't learn the Light Blade. So before I formally teach you swordsmanship, you must first master the Light Blade of the Sword God Style."
"This... but it's me..."
Shirou wanted to tell the Sword God that his armor was too heavy and it was impossible for him to unleash the Blade of Light under such circumstances.
But the Sword God merely glanced at him with a sharp look, his attitude as if to say, "I know everything, but I still expect you to do it."
Shirou remained silent for a moment in response to the Sword God's unreasonable attitude, but finally nodded helplessly.
After all, the test has already come this far, it would be a great pity to give up now.
Moreover, although the Sword God's test seemed unreasonable, there was indeed some logic to it on the level of swordsmanship, and Shirou still chose to believe it.
With this, the Sword Saint assessment of the Sword God School has come to a complete end.
In the end, only two people passed the test: Shirou and Alice.
They became Sword Saints recognized by the Holy Land of Swords, thus engraving their names in the records of the Holy Land of Swords.
……
After becoming a sword saint, Shirou's life remained unchanged.
The Sword God has made it clear that he will only teach him more advanced swordsmanship once he has mastered the Blade of Light.
However, Shirou's armor was too heavy, and to unleash the Blade of Light while wearing such armor was something even the Sword King might not be able to do.
However, since the Sword God had made such a request, Shirou had no choice but to try.
As expected, he was completely unable to wield the Blade of Light while wearing armor, and could only barely use the Silent Blade.
To wield the Blade of Light while wearing this armor would require unimaginable effort and an immense amount of sweat.
Even if you train to the extreme every day, it is destined to take more than a day to achieve this.
In the past, Shirou might have stayed in the holy land of swords for two or three years, devoting everything to swordsmanship in order to meet the requirements of the sword god.
But now he still has a goal to achieve, which is to find his lost family members.
So after thinking it over, Shirou decided to ask the Sword God if he could leave the Holy Land of Swords and go out to find his family.
Once I've fulfilled the Sword God's requirements, I'll return to formally become his apprentice.
Shirou thought this condition would be difficult, but to his surprise, the Sword God calmly agreed.
Before agreeing, the swordsman asked Shirou a question.
"Is your sword wielded to protect those around you?"
"of course."
"Such a sword is dull."
The sword god mercilessly criticized Shirou's choice, saying, "Even the most skilled in defense, the Water God Style, cannot protect everyone around him. Once he falls into defeat, he will begin to doubt and become confused about his sword, and eventually he will be completely unable to wield it."
Upon hearing the sword god's words, Shirou recalled his past self.
On that snowy night, he indeed failed to protect anything. He couldn't protect his junior sister named Sakura, nor could he completely save Miyu. He could only send her to a strange world.
However, he did not think there was anything wrong with his actions, nor did he ever feel confused. So he said directly, "If the sword that protects my family is dull, then I will give up the sword directly, because protecting my family is my goal, and the sword is just a means to achieve my goal. A sword that cannot protect my family is not worth practicing."
