"!!!"
Faced with Alexander's attack, Shirou had no time to think and immediately drew the Phoenix Dragon Sword from his waist, ready to engage in a head-on collision with his opponent.
The main problem was that he simply didn't think he had a way to dodge the attack.
Because Alexander used the Dragon Sword to empower himself, he also activated the gravity magic within the Demon Sword, making it difficult for Shirou to move by adding a gravity field around him.
If Shirou chooses to dodge, he will definitely be easily caught up by Alexander and defeated with a single sword strike.
Conversely, if we choose to confront them head-on, although it will still be very difficult, at least there is a possibility of holding them off!
Thus, this scene unfolded before everyone's eyes.
Alexander, wielding his greatsword, unleashed his Twenty Slashes, charging towards Shirou with the force of thunder. Shirou decisively drew his Phoenix Dragon Sword, wielding the Blade of Light, to confront Alexander head-on.
"boom!"
After a near-destructive gust of wind erupted, the two on the battlefield were forced to separate.
Alexander easily jumped backward, thus dissipating all the pressure generated by the collision.
In contrast, Shirou was thrown a great distance by the aftershocks of the collision, and the Phoenix Dragon Sword in his hand even developed cracks during the clash.
This single exchange of blows already demonstrated the gap in skill.
After Alexander drew the King Dragon Sword, he only needed to use the simplest twenty slashes to directly negate Shirou's all-out attack with the Light Blade, and the difference between the weapons was obvious.
The two sides are simply not on the same level!
Moreover, after using the Dragon King Sword, Alexander seemed to lose his rationality, becoming completely frenzied and filled with fighting spirit.
The moment the opponent repelled Shirou, he suddenly jumped up again and, relying on the acceleration brought by gravity magic, arrived in front of Shirou at a speed almost comparable to that of the Blade of Light!
"boom!"
"Boom!" "Boom!"
Alexander's offensive came like a tidal wave.
Let's leave Shirou himself aside for now.
Those around them who witnessed the battle felt a stinging sensation in their pupils and an uncontrollable tremor throughout their bodies.
"boom!"
Amidst billowing dust, Alexander's body spun in mid-air before unleashing a powerful sword strike at the obscured ground.
The violent storm swept away all the smoke and dust, revealing Shirou's figure.
Alexander then pursued further, charging straight at Shirou.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides clashed again in a stunning collision.
Shirou was smashed away by Alexander, who was wielding the King Dragon Sword. Furthermore, the Phoenix Dragon Sword in his hand finally could not withstand the terrifying destructive power of the King Dragon Sword and was completely shattered!
"Kacha!"
Once hailed as indestructible and indestructible, the peerless Dragon Sword finally succumbed to defeat in a clash with the even more advanced King Dragon Sword.
Even without his weapon, Shirou was unable to withstand Alexander's next attack.
Because the distance was too close, Shirou didn't even have time to use projection magic, so he had to roll on the spot to dodge Alexander's direct attack with a clumsy movement.
He then immediately took out his bow and arrows, projected the arrows, and fired several rapid shots.
But before Alexander, who was now completely unleashing his full power without any restraint, these arrows couldn't even stir up the slightest ripple.
The opponent didn't even make a move to defend; relying solely on the gravity shield released by the Wanglong Sword, all the arrows fell to the ground as soon as they got close.
"..."
Seeing this, Shirou realized that no amount of clever tricks could win this battle.
When the situation reached this point, it was no longer possible to gain an advantage through ordinary skills. The contest between the two sides was no longer about the level of martial arts, but a clash of absolute power. If Shirou wanted to win, he had to create a power even stronger than the King Dragon Sword!
Faced with this situation, Shirou inexplicably recalled his battle with Angelica.
At the time, Shirou did have the advantage against Angelica who used the Gilgamesh card, using Unlimited Blade Works and his own various techniques to hold his own. However, once Angelica used her strongest technique, the Ea, which split the heavens and the earth, he was completely helpless and had no way to fight back.
Shirou learned from this lesson and realized that he lacked a single, effective means with absolute destructive power. So, after coming to this world, he has been searching for it. But even now, he can't say for sure whether he has found such a thing.
But at least for now, he has no other choice!
After all, he can't even use Unlimited Blade Works right now. If he doesn't use all his trump cards, he absolutely won't be able to win!
"Projection, start!"
Faced with his own lack of weaponry and Alexander's growing momentum, Shirou didn't have time to think further before decisively deploying the projection!
He wanted to project the strongest sword he could currently project.
If the King Dragon Sword is the strongest sword in the world, then what Shirou projected is the strongest sword in his perception, belonging to another world!
He had imagined the shape and appearance of that sword countless times in his dreams, and he had focused his imagination on one point countless times in an attempt to understand the essence of that sword.
Now, although it may still be impossible to completely recreate its original form, Shirou has no other choice but to take a gamble!
Shirou raised his right hand, and a golden light formed in his hand, bursting forth with astonishing magical power.
At the same time, a light slowly shone from Shirou's chest. It was a scabbard-shaped artifact, a Noble Phantasm created by Shirou in conjunction with the Seven Stars and the entire Magic University, that was almost identical to the original—the Distant Ideal World.
Now, what Shirou is projecting is the very thing that should have been in the scabbard of the distant ideal world: the holy sword from the elves that appeared at the same time as the scabbard.
Its name is——
"The Sword of Promised Victory!"
Shirou concentrated all his strength and mental energy into his hands, an action that consumed more physical strength than he had imagined, and even his magic power was gradually being depleted.
Compared to the eternally distant golden sword that Shirou once projected at the Sacred Land of Swords, the Excalibur he is projecting now is countless times more difficult.
This is normal, after all, no matter how close the Golden Sword of Eternal Distance is to the genuine article, it is still just a weapon of imitation.
From any angle, it can never catch up with the real Excalibur, the holy sword of King Arthur.
This sword is not only a genuine divine weapon, but also the strongest holy sword in the true sense, a unique artifact engraved in the annals of heroes and even the history of the planet.
Originally, no matter what price Shirou paid or what self-sacrifice he made, it would have been impossible for him to create the projection of Excalibur.
This has exceeded the limits of projection capabilities.
However, because Shirou had created the Eternal Golden Sword, which was infinitely close to the Excalibur, he completely understood the essence of the Excalibur through forging. Moreover, he used the Eternal Ideal World, the scabbard of the Excalibur, and through Avalon's blessing and the attributes that Avalon itself provided that were closely related to the Excalibur, Shirou had a sliver of a chance to create the true Excalibur!
"Ahhhh!"
At this moment, just by performing the projection step, Shirou felt his body cracking and breaking down bit by bit. His mortal physique was far from capable of projecting the strongest holy sword, and even Shirou's own potential was collapsing little by little.
However, because the distant Utopia was also at work at the same time, it was repairing Shirou's body at almost the same speed, maintaining the integrity of Shirou's soul, allowing him to maintain the purity of his self-awareness, and continue the creation of Excalibur.
As all this happened, the intense magic had almost completely drained Shirou himself, and even the magic in this space began to dry up.
"!!!"
Those around who witnessed this scene all showed expressions of confusion.
Even Alexander himself couldn't help but frown, feeling bewildered and extremely wary of what was happening before him.
As the Northern God, he naturally couldn't just stand by and watch the enemy make such an obviously threatening move in front of him, so he almost immediately took action to try to stop Shirou's actions.
"You won't succeed!"
In the distance, Rudius and Loki seemed to have anticipated this.
As magicians, they were different from Paul and the others; they had the ability to interfere with the battle from a distance.
However, the battle between Shirou and Alexander was too intense, and the two of them had no chance to intervene in the battle. They could easily do more harm than good, so they just watched from the sidelines.
Seeing Shirou in danger, they naturally wouldn't just stand by and watch. After all, the one-on-one duel was only a verbal promise between Shirou and Alexander, and Rudeus and the others hadn't actually agreed to it.
After all, how could they possibly be willing to let Shirou give everything to protect them while they did nothing in return?
Now that they had finally seized the perfect opportunity, Rudeus and Loki decisively joined forces and used their strongest King-level magic—Lightning!
This magic was something Loki learned during her travels over the years.
After successfully rescuing Loki in the labyrinthine city of Lapon, Rudeus became curious about Loki's King-level magic and went to ask her for guidance.
Loki naturally agreed to teach him, but to her surprise, Rudeus mastered the essence of King-level magic in one go, leaving Loki feeling frustrated.
After all, she had only managed to reach the King level at such an advanced age, while Shirou and Rudeus had reached the King level at a much younger age, which naturally made her feel unbalanced.
Of course, this feeling only affected Loki for a short while. She quickly shook off the negative emotions and felt proud of her disciple Rudeus's growth.
In fact, her teaching of King-level magic to Rudeus did have an effect.
In the current situation, she alone wouldn't have enough time to activate a King-level spell so quickly.
Rudeus and she joined forces to use magic at the crucial moment. The magic they created together was condensed almost instantly and then crashed down from mid-air toward Alexander!
"Majestic water spirit, thunder prince ascending to the sky! Grant my wish, bring forth fierce blessings, let the dwarfs witness your power! Strike the anvil with the hammer of God, display your might, let the flood engulf the entire earth! Ah, rain! Wash away all, banish all things!"
"Majestic spirit of light, Thunder Emperor who rules the sky! Do you see the one who stands there? That is the arrogant enemy of the Thunder Emperor! I will wield the holy sword and become the one who strikes down my enemy in one blow! With the power of radiant light, I will display the majesty of the Thunder Emperor!"
Since the King-level spell Lightning Strike requires the simultaneous use of two Saint-level spells, Water and Lightning, it would be quite cumbersome for one person to use it.
However, Rudeus and Loki used a water-based holy magic and an advanced lightning magic respectively, and quickly completed the casting of the spell!
"Lightning! Annihilate everything!"
"Boom!"
A tremendous bolt of lightning struck from the sky, its power passing through Alexander's body and knocking him directly down from mid-air.
"Drink up, ahhhhh!"
However, Alexander did not stop. Even though he was hit by a King-level magic spell, he still insisted on getting up from the ground, gripping his greatsword and walking towards Shirou.
Just then, Paul, Alina Lige, and the others reacted and stood in front of Alexander, blocking his path with their bodies.
"Go away!"
Alexander, full of ferocity, was about to knock Paul and the others back with a straight sword strike.
The difference between Paul and the others and Alexander was obvious to the naked eye; the power of the Wanglong Sword could almost tear them to shreds in an instant.
At the critical moment—
"boom!"
A dazzling light emerged from the dark labyrinth.
Shirou had appeared before them without them noticing, and swung his holy sword, which was only half-finished, against Alexander.
"Boom!"
What erupted in an instant was a raging storm.
That's the Wind King's Barrier enveloping the surface of the Holy Sword!
Its power is enough to blow away thousands of troops.
Chapter 336 Paul and Son's desperate gamble! The Sword of Excalibur is fully completed!
Shirou suddenly appeared and with a single sword strike, completely repelled Alexander, who was wielding the King Dragon Sword, blocking his full-force attack at the last second.
But this process seemed quite strange to others.
Because no one else could clearly see what weapon Shirou was holding; from an ordinary person's perspective, Shirou's hands were clearly empty.
This strange situation also puzzled Alexander.
He spun around and flew to the side, landing steadily on the ground.
After using gravity magic to maintain his body's stability, he couldn't help but frown. He first glanced at the weapon in his hand, then looked in the direction where Shirou was, and felt a distinct sense of unease.
"Do you have a weapon?"
Shirou did not respond to Alexander's statement.
He first looked at the people around him, from Loki and Rudeus who had released King-level magic, then at Elina Liz, Keith and Tarhand, and finally at Paul.
He said with a helpless expression, "You shouldn't have gotten involved in this matter in the first place."
In response to Shirou's statement, Rudeus spoke first: "What are you talking about? Senis is our mother. Of course I have to do my part to save her!"
"Yes."
Paul nodded in agreement. "This matter cannot be left to you alone, Shirou. Even if it costs me my life, I will not allow anyone to harm a single hair on Senis's head!"
