Normal people wouldn't understand why Vita did this, but only those who fought Vita know the design of that sword.

"Brother, watch out for that sword!"

Over the years, Alice has lost all her tsundere attitude. She now calls Shirou "brother" and tries to warn him to be careful of the other party's weapon.

Before Alice spoke, Shirou had already noticed the strangeness of Vita's weapon.

When the opponent swings their sword, it will resonate with the glass armor they are wearing. Due to the refraction and reflection of light, when the reflective sword and the glass armor simultaneously converge the light, the opponent will lose their vision for an instant, or even experience a stinging sensation in their eyes, making it difficult to maintain normal combat movements.

Vita himself is a miner. He is short in stature, which makes him incredibly agile. He can unleash a series of thrusting attacks, and with his reflective technique, he is extremely annoying. Even ordinary sword masters cannot easily defeat him.

It wasn't just Vitaly the Northern King who took action.

King Isis of the North and King Nakurjad of the North each unleashed their ultimate techniques.

The former is a magic swordsman who can unleash intermediate or even advanced magic during battle. Although he is not a spellless mage, he can cast spells while fighting, making his abilities no less than those of a true spellless mage.

Nakurjad's methods are the most basic. After losing his brother, his talent was no longer enough to support him to go further. The reason he became the King of the North was purely because of his heartfelt hatred. He finally got to where he is today through desperate efforts and hard work.

Therefore, Nakurjad is actually the weakest of the Northern Kings. His strength, achieved through hard work and sweat, is just like Shirou, who was once criticized by the Sword God as a fake.

Even if it was a lie, Nakuljad's hatred was genuine; he was even prepared to risk his life to kill Shirou.

Shirou's expression remained unchanged in the face of the attack from the three Northern Kings.

He first went straight to meet Vita, who was the first to charge at him.

If an ordinary person were to get this close to Vita, they would be immediately struck by the reflection of the sword, making it impossible for them to open their eyes.

Shirou was also forced to close his eyes, but even without being able to see with his naked eye, Shirou easily judged Vita's movements with his mind's eye and threw a punch directly.

"boom!"

Shirou's fist struck Vita the North's abdomen with pinpoint accuracy, shattering his gleaming armor and sending him flying backward, his eyes widening and blood gushing from his mouth.

"Flames, pierce my enemy!!!"

Upon seeing this, Isis, the Northern King, immediately swung her sword, combining it with fire magic to stab at Shirou.

But Shirou seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. Without even turning around, he turned around and kicked Isis in the chin, forcing her to stop casting magic and sending her flying into the air.

"How can it be!?"

Nakuljad was completely shocked by what he saw. He couldn't believe that the other party had repelled the two Northern Kings without even using a sword.

Faced with this unheard-of event, he was forced into a brief moment of distraction.

In that moment of distraction, Shirou seized the opportunity, appearing in front of Nakuljad as if by teleportation, and smashing a punch into the latter's face.

"boom!"

It sounds like a long time, but it's actually just a moment.

To outsiders, it looked as if Shirou had instantly defeated the three Northern Kings, smashing them all to the ground like ants.

This outrageous scene undoubtedly shocked everyone present, plunging the entire execution platform into a deathly silence!

Chapter 355 The Fall of the Northern Emperor! Shirou's Overwhelming Strength!

After Shirou made his move, he killed the three Northern Kings instantly without even drawing his sword.

The impact of this scene was so immense that it made people wonder if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

After all, Shirou's speed was so fast that most people couldn't even see what he did and just watched as the Northern Kings were completely defeated.

Only a handful of people at the scene clearly saw Shirou's actions: the water goddess Reda and the Northern Emperor Obel.

Only two beings at the Emperor level or above could clearly see what Shirou had done.

Because they saw Shirou's actions clearly, Reda and Obel's expressions changed slightly, realizing Shirou's strength.

"hateful!"

Of the three Northern Kings who fell to the ground, Vita had been hit head-on by Shirou, and his glass-like armor was shattered on the spot by Shirou's fist. As a result, he had completely lost consciousness and was lying on the ground, unable to get up.

Isis, the Northern King, was much less injured than Vita, but he had already realized from the battle that Shirou's strength was not to be underestimated and was definitely not something that a mere Northern King like himself could contend with. Therefore, even though he still had the ability to fight, he did not take any action.

Only one person chose to take action on the spot, and that was the Northern King Nakurjad.

He harbored a deep-seated hatred for Shirou and could not accept the fact that he could not avenge his brother. Therefore, even though he had just taken a full-force attack from Shirou and several of his bones were broken, he still rushed towards Shirou with all his might, disregarding everything else.

"Go to hell!!"

Faced with Nakuljad's frantic actions, Shirou didn't even turn his head. He simply grabbed Nakuljad's wrist with one hand and then threw him over his shoulder, sending him flying.

Despite this, Nakurjad did not give up. He used the techniques of the Northern God Style to forcefully change direction in mid-air and desperately thrust his sword at Shirou.

"..."

Faced with that chilling killing intent, Shirou could no longer ignore it and chose to draw the longsword at his waist, preparing to send his opponent on his final journey.

"Pfft!"

The clash of swords is fleeting.

Shirou turned his head, looked at the bloodstains scattered on the ground, frowned slightly, and found that Nakuljad's figure was indeed still alive.

Shirou's sword strike was originally aimed at the opponent's heart, but it only ended up severing the opponent's arm.

Now, like his brother, Nakurjad has had his sword-wielding hand cut off by Shirou, which is tantamount to death for a swordsman.

But this was not because Shirou was showing mercy; he had no mercy left.

Or rather, he believed that only by killing Nakurjad could he find relief.

The reason Shirou was unable to kill Nakurjad was not because of Nakurjad's own power, but because the North Emperor Obel intervened and pulled him back from the brink of death.

"Alas, I told you long ago, my poor disciple, do not live for hatred."

Aubel looked at Nakurjad with regret, his arm severed and his swordsmanship ruined. "As a swordsman, hatred will only dull your sword. If you want to truly embrace and master the sword, you must live for the beliefs you hold dear. In fact, I don't think your brother would want to see you forever shrouded in hatred, unable to break free."

"Master Aubert..."

Nakurjad fell into a deep silence upon hearing Aubel's words.

He certainly couldn't easily escape the vortex of hatred in a short time, but Aubert's words at least opened a window for him, giving him the possibility of liberation.

While the master and apprentice were talking, Shirou silently looked at Obel.

As the Northern Emperor, his opponent's strength was indeed not to be underestimated. The sword strike he had just unleashed on Nakurjad was completely merciless and would have ended his opponent's life.

But Ober was able to forcibly deflect his sword, causing the sword that was originally aimed at the heart to deflect, and in the end only cut off Nakurjad's hand.

This is enough to show how powerful Aubert is.

But he was not afraid. The moment he arrived in the Kingdom of Asura and stepped onto this battlefield, Shirou had already abandoned all his confusion and made up his mind that he would definitely defeat all the enemies and save everything he was meant to save.

Whether it's the Northern Emperor or the Water God, he will not hesitate to sever them both!

"Your name is Shirou, right?"

Obel had just overheard Shirou and Alice's conversation. "Although I might be mistaken, in the recently updated ranking of the seven great powers, the seventh-ranked name changed from Northern God III to Shirou. Could that person be you?"

"..."

Unexpectedly, Aubel brought up this matter, and Shirou didn't try to hide anything, openly admitting, "That's right, it's me, my name is Shirou Grellard."

"I see. So you gained the stone tablet's approval after defeating the Northern God III?"

"That's it."

Shirou didn't want to publicize his victory over the Northern God III too much.

Because he wasn't the only one involved; Rudius, Lochsch, and even Paul all participated in that battle.

Shirou defeated Kitakami III only by relying on the combined efforts of everyone.

While Shirou himself thought so, everyone else was clearly shocked by it.

The members of Darius's faction were dumbfounded, never expecting that their opponent would have such a powerful ally, one of the seven great powers!

It's worth noting that even Leda, the strongest water goddess in the Asura Kingdom, isn't listed among the seven great powers.

Although the Water God himself dislikes fighting and doesn't have many substantial battle achievements, so he isn't recognized by the ranking list based on battle achievements, to outsiders it simply means that the Water God isn't on the list, while Shirou is a strong person on the list, even if he's only at the bottom, he's still a terrifying existence that shouldn't be underestimated!

For a time, many in Darius's faction began to have doubts.

They all began to doubt the stability of Darius's faction, and many even considered jumping ship.

Darius was undoubtedly the one least able to accept his subordinates' ideas.

He certainly knew what the seven great powers meant, but for him, there was no way out now. He had to put Gravel on the throne so that he could survive!

"Obel, kill him! I'll pay you tenfold!"

Darius shouted desperately, filled with hostility and hatred towards Shirou.

"Ten times the reward for killing a powerful expert? Most people would never take on such a task, but for me, this is indeed a great opportunity."

With a smile, Obel slowly stepped forward. "As the founder of the Qiba School, I have always wanted to prove that the Qiba School is no weaker than the true Northern God Style created by Northern God Kalman. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find any trace of Northern God III all these years, making it difficult to fight him and prove my abilities. Now the situation is just right. Lord Shirou, you defeated Northern God III, which means that as long as I defeat you, I can prove that the Qiba School is superior to the traditional Northern God Style! Let me use you as a stepping stone to make a name for myself in the Qiba School!"

"..."

Shirou did not respond to Obel's attitude.

Or rather, Shirou had already responded from the very beginning by drawing his longsword and preparing to fight the Northern Emperor.

Although the distance between the two sides was vast, it was actually something that could be crossed in an instant for the Sword King and the Northern Emperor.

Aubert made the first move, acting like a wild beast.

The movements were completely illogical, as if the person was leaping around in the air. They looked more like a monster from the jungle than a swordsman.

An ordinary person would probably be at a loss the moment they saw Ober's movements, but Shirou has countless experiences hunting monsters, so no matter how strange Ober's movements were, he remained unmoved and patiently waited for the right moment to draw his sword.

And this opportunity is not far off; it will arrive very soon!

"Woohoo!"

Aubel maneuvered through the air, and at the very moment he reached a certain critical point, he suddenly changed direction and charged straight at Shirou.

All his movements were essentially accelerations, and at the moment when the kinetic energy reached its limit, he rushed towards Shirou at an unimaginable speed.

In that instant, it could be said that Ober's speed was comparable to the Blade of Light of the Sword God Style, no, it was even faster than the Blade of Light.

Just like the technique called Light Return that Shirou once mastered in the Holy Land of Swords, Obel's movements are one of the few techniques in the Kitakami-ryu that surpasses the Light Blade in speed!

Not to mention ordinary people, even Shirou couldn't keep up with Obel's movements for a while, and couldn't catch any of her actions with his naked eye.

However, just because the naked eye can't keep up doesn't mean Shirou can't respond.

Faced with Aubel's incredible speed, he simply closed his eyes instead of looking, and just as Aubel's sword was about to touch him, he instinctively raised his hand to block the attack.

At the same time, Shirou countered with even greater speed. Despite it being a simple sword technique, he blocked Obel's retreat perfectly, forcing him to step back.

"Hey kid, something's not right with you!"

Obel narrowly dodged Shirou's sword strike and immediately sensed something. He quickly distanced himself from Shirou, then frowned and said, "You're not from the Sword God School, but the Northern God School? No, your previous movements could only be performed by someone from the Sword God School... Could it be that you're a dual practitioner? You've mastered the techniques of both the Sword God School and the Northern God School?"

"..."

When Obel realized so quickly that he wasn't just a swordsman, Shirou didn't hide his thoughts and said, "You're right. I'm not only the Sword King, but also the Northern King."

"Oh, there really are people like that. The Second Prince of the Northern Gods once said that what he considered the ultimate Northern God style was to master all skills and martial arts. Could it be that he was referring to someone like you?"

"The Second King of the North Gods does indeed have certain expectations of me."

"Haha, this is getting more and more interesting!"

Ober revealed an excited expression, "Not only does it represent the Third Northern God, but also the Second Northern God? If we can defeat you, the Qiba Sect will truly surpass the traditional Northern God School and can claim to be the strongest Northern God School!"

As he spoke, Aubert became excited, completely abandoning all restraint, and his fighting spirit expanded at an extremely rapid pace.

Darius, seeing this from afar, instinctively tensed up and hurriedly asked, "Obel, can you win?"

"Hehe, is that even a question?"

Aubert spoke without turning his head, his attitude confident and calm.

Not to mention that Shirou is both the Sword King and the Northern King at the same time, even the titles of the Seven Great Powers cannot intimidate him, fully demonstrating the demeanor of the Northern Emperor.

Immediately afterwards, he charged toward Shirou without any attempt to conceal his intentions, raising his longsword in his right hand while taking out a strange bottle in his left.

"Hokushenryu...Akamo!"

As he spoke, Aubert threw the bottle away, and with a loud bang, a lot of liquid spilled onto the ground.

Shirou then discovered that his feet were completely stuck to the ground, and he was unable to move at all.
