The King Dragon Sword projected in Heushirou's hand also began to pulsate strangely under the influence of the Water God. He had to hold it with all his might to prevent the weapon from slipping out of his hand.
However, despite the overwhelming pressure from the water god, Shirou showed no fear. He faced the pressure of the god-level powerhouse head-on, gripped the King Dragon Sword in his hand, and walked straight forward.
"Clap."
"Clap."
The water god and Shirou each faced each other as they moved forward.
Neither of them moved quickly; in fact, they moved very slowly, as if taking a leisurely stroll, walking step by step.
Until the two got closer and closer.
The moment they reached a certain threshold, Shirou and the Water God moved almost simultaneously, their speeds so fast that no one around them could keep up, as if they had teleported!
"Boom!"
The clash of swords erupted suddenly in the next second!
The execution ground was immediately enveloped by an astonishing storm; the ground cracked, chandeliers shattered, and a huge hole appeared in the ceiling.
In the very center of the storm, Shirou and the Water God clashed at an astonishing speed. Their swords seemed to have collided hundreds of times in an instant, yet the speed was so fast that it was as if they had only struck once.
"Just like that guy Gar said, you have a real talent for learning the Water God Style."
The water goddess Leda spoke calmly.
The collision just now seemed to her as a simple warm-up exercise; she didn't show any extra expression, her face remained calm.
In contrast, Shirou's expression clearly showed that he was under a lot of pressure.
Although he already knew the terror of a god-level expert, the brief battle just now still far exceeded his expectations.
Because he discovered that the Water God had not used any style of technique, but simply used the most basic sword-swinging motion, which was no less powerful than his full-force swing of the Light Blade.
Sword techniques are interconnected.
Although the Water Goddess had never mastered the Sword God Style, her swordsmanship had reached such a level that it could be described as divine. In terms of speed, she could easily suppress Shirou, who was only at the Sword King level.
This is significantly different from when Shirou fought against the Northern God III. Even after defeating the Northern God III and gaining the title of a great power, Shirou still struggled to deal with the Water God's attacks.
Compared to the Northern God III, who relied too much on the King Dragon Sword and thus lacked skill, the Water God's skills were truly divine, even among the best of the divine.
At least Shirou no longer dared to underestimate anyone, and deeply realized just how terrifying an opponent he was facing!
This is destined to be a fight to the death where he will have to give it his all!
Chapter 357: A barrage of Noble Phantasms!
The battle between Shirou and the water goddess Reda, even at the very beginning, displayed an extremely oppressive atmosphere, turning the not-so-spacious execution ground into a gladiatorial hell.
Neither side used their full strength at the beginning, merely making tentative moves against each other, but even so, the aftershocks of the battle had already shaken the entire battlefield.
Faced with such fierce fighting, ordinary nobles were no longer able to see the battlefield clearly and began to flee from the execution ground.
Even the knights of the Kingdom's Knights Order originally wanted to participate in this battle and assist the Water God in fighting against the foreign enemy.
But they soon discovered that they couldn't participate in the battle at all. In fact, they tragically found that in the face of truly terrifying powerhouses, they were almost no different from ordinary nobles, and couldn't even stand up.
Soon, only a very few people remained to watch the battle: Alice and Kyrie, Ariel who was protected by the two sword kings, and a very small number of Saint-level beings from Ariel's faction and the First Prince's faction, such as Sylphie.
Those below the Saint level are not even qualified to stay here, as they cannot withstand the terrifying aftershocks caused by the battle between the Water God and Shirou.
It's worth mentioning that among the spectators was the water goddess Reda's disciple, the water king Izuruti.
When Isorti saw Shirou appear, she showed a surprised expression, instinctively recalling what happened in the royal capital many years ago.
She was initially very happy, thinking that she could exchange pleasantries with Shirou and even discuss swordsmanship as she always had.
She has worked very hard over the years and, with her outstanding talent, has quickly risen to become the Queen of Water.
Therefore, she originally thought she could avenge her previous defeat and defeat Shirou once again.
However, Shirou's battle with North Emperor Obel quickly made Isalti realize the gap between the two. So much time had passed, but the gap between them had not only not changed with the passage of time, but had become wider and wider, to the point that it was impossible to bridge.
When Shirou killed the Northern Emperor Obel, Isorty was at a loss for words to express her feelings, leaving only complex thoughts flowing through her mind...
That's why, when she saw her master, the water goddess Reda, begin her battle with Shirou, Isorti didn't even know whether she should stop it. She just stared blankly at the intense battle unfolding, her mind completely blank.
Apart from Izuru, very few people on Darius's faction were able to witness this battle.
Darius himself fled in panic the moment he sensed Shirou's murderous intent directed at him, not daring to linger at the scene. He didn't even have the thought of paying attention to the battle of the water goddess Reda who had saved him; all he could think about was escaping and saving his own life.
Faced with Darius's escape, Ariel's faction naturally wouldn't stand idly by.
Although both Iris and Gilead have been severely injured and are currently doing their best to protect Ariel, they are no longer able to pursue Darius. However, there are still many members of Ariel's faction who possess considerable strength and are filled with hatred for the wicked Darius.
They gave chase the moment they discovered Darius had escaped.
Ariel tacitly approved of all this and secretly arranged for Luke to go and provide support. She originally wanted to send Sylphie, but Sylphie clearly cared more about Shirou fighting the water god than Darius, so Ariel had to settle for second best and chose Luke to command the situation.
In conclusion, the number of people who were able to witness this battle at the execution ground was extremely small.
Originally destined for execution, Sauros had somehow become someone no one cared about. Everyone's attention was focused on the fierce battle taking place in the center of the execution ground, a battle that was destined to shake the world!
……
In the center of the execution ground.
"boom!"
Shirou and the Water God each swung their swords, their magical power and fighting spirit intertwined to the extreme, unleashing their physical strength to the limit.
The final result is a scene of evenly matched strength.
Of course, normally speaking, Shirou, a sword master, could not possibly be on equal footing with the mighty water god.
The reason he was able to confront the Water God head-on despite the difference in their levels was because he wielded the King Dragon Sword. The power of this sword made up for the gap between him and the Water God. His gravity magic even allowed Shirou to easily dodge many of the Water God's attacks, giving him a certain advantage in pure swordsmanship combat.
Of course, Shirou didn't seem particularly pleased with himself.
He knew better than anyone how much water the Water God was currently releasing.
Not only did the opponent not use his most proficient Water God Style, but he also did not use any of the other styles of swordsmanship. He simply used the most basic swordsmanship.
Despite being the simplest swordsmanship, the oppressive force emanating from its swing is in no way inferior to that of Shirou wielding the Blade of Light.
This is undoubtedly an absolute gap in terms of technology. The Water God, relying solely on pure technology, has overcome all the barriers of the Light Blade and the King Dragon Sword, achieving a level that is on par with Shirou, and even suppressing Shirou's level to a certain extent.
The current strongest of the Water God Style, the strength it represents is so exaggerated that it can make ordinary swordsmen feel utterly hopeless.
"Ding,"
"Ding," "Ding,"
The swords clashed several times in an instant.
Shirou felt the increasing pressure from his opponent and no longer held back. He used the power of the projected King Dragon Sword with all his might. The gravity magic he released directly enveloped the entire battlefield. It was obvious that the surrounding ground collapsed a bit, and reality was directly distorted by the exaggerated gravity.
The water god must have been affected by the gravity magic, and his every move must have become extremely tiring, making it impossible for him to move easily anymore.
However, Shirou discovered that the water god did not seem to be too restricted by gravity magic.
Within the realm of gravity, the Water God maintained the same movement as before, suddenly rushing towards Shirou without any pause.
"boom!"
After a brief collision, Shirou and the Water God each retreated.
Having witnessed what had just happened, Shirou fully realized the situation and couldn't help but ask in surprise, "You didn't use your full strength just now? No, you still aren't using your full strength now? You're still holding back?"
"Hehe, you figured it out?"
The water goddess Leda seemed to realize that she couldn't keep up the act any longer, and the old woman smiled and said, "After all, I haven't experienced battle for so many years, and this may be the last battle of my life. I will become more like that guy, the sword god Galfarion, and want to enjoy this battle even more."
"The final battle?"
Not understanding why the water god would say such a thing, Shirou quickly ran out of time to ponder such matters.
Upon discovering that the Water God had been suppressing his strength the entire time, only slightly turning his true power when forced by the gravity magic of his own King Dragon Sword, he truly felt immense pressure.
After all, it's not scary to have a powerful enemy; what's truly unsettling is not knowing just how powerful the enemy is.
So far, the water goddess Leda has not only failed to use her most proficient Water God Style swordsmanship, but even her basic abilities seem to have not been fully unleashed.
This was undoubtedly something Shirou found difficult to accept.
But he also knew he had to accept that, no matter what, he had to pursue the ultimate victory in this battle.
"Snapped!"
Without further hesitation, Shirou silently planted the King Dragon Sword in the ground, but not to abandon the weapon. Instead, in the instant his hands were free, he drew the bow and arrow from his back.
The water goddess Reda had clearly noticed Shirou's strange behavior before.
Despite being a swordsman, Shirou carries all sorts of weapons, from swords to daggers, from bows to spears, and even wears heavy armor.
This doesn't look like the attire of a swordsman of the Sword God style at all.
Amidst the water god's confusion, Shirou quickly revealed to him the reason for his attire.
"Snapped!"
"Crack!" "Crack!"
The moment Shirou raised his hand, several arrows were already shot out from his hand.
The arrow pierced through space and suddenly arrived before the water god.
Faced with such accurate shooting, the water god's eyes flashed with approval, and without blinking, he easily shot down all the arrows.
Shirou clearly didn't intend to defeat the water god with arrows; he kept shooting arrows only to prepare for his next move.
“IAmTheBoneOfMySword”.
When a certain number of arrows had been shot, Shirou suddenly began chanting.
As the chanting began, Shirou immediately unfurled a projection with his right hand, projecting the Noble Phantasm, the Pseudo-Spiral Sword, with lightning speed.
He mixed the fake spiral sword into an ordinary arrow, pretending it was just a regular arrow, then drew his bow and shot it out suddenly!
"boom!"
The flying arrows exuded a palpable sense of oppressive power.
Everything Shirou had done before was merely a prelude to this attack, and its destination was undoubtedly the body of the water god, determined to completely pierce through his body!
In fact, Shirou's attack was undoubtedly very effective.
When too many ordinary arrows are shot, the opponent will undoubtedly gradually adapt to and get used to his movements, and little by little, he will lower his guard.
The water god was no different. After blocking a large number of incoming arrows, the water god had begun to get used to Shirou's movements and even began to look for opportunities to get closer to Shirou.
But in that instant when a normal person would let their guard down, Shirou's real attack suddenly struck, a fatal blow that rushed towards the Water God, leaving him completely defenseless.
However, the reason why the water god is the water god is precisely because he possesses absolute skill.
Even with such a sudden blow, the water god, unable to react at first, immediately took remedial action.
She raised her sword with incredible speed, and in the instant the pseudo-spiral sword was less than a few centimeters away from her body, she thrust it straight into the oncoming projected artifact.
"Ding,"
The sharp golden sword and the pseudo-spiral sword experienced a momentary friction, causing the pseudo-spiral sword to deviate from its trajectory.
Seizing this momentary opening, the water goddess Leda moved with the fluidity of water, dodging the pseudo-spiral sword with exaggerated movements.
However, the water god's plan still had a flaw.
She only thought the pseudo-spiral sword was a flying arrow, but she didn't know that Shirou's real killing move was not the action of shooting it, but the pseudo-spiral sword itself!
"Fantasy collapse!"
The moment the pseudo-spiral sword reached the water god, Shirou suddenly destroyed the Noble Phantasm itself.
"boom!"
As the core of the Noble Phantasm collapsed, the body of the pseudo-spiral sword began to rapidly crumble, instantly transforming into a massive mushroom cloud that completely engulfed the figure of the water god.
Even so, Shirou still didn't feel safe.
Without pausing, he took out the indestructible Extreme Spear from his back and instantly activated its effect.
"Target confirmed, bearing and angle fixed! Indestructible Extreme Gun!"
With ruthless speed, Shirou hurled his spear, which, after slicing through the air, plunged straight into the spot where the water god had been standing.
The area, already shrouded in smoke from the explosion of the pseudo-spiral sword, was now enveloped once again by an absolutely terrifying violence, with an oppressive force crushing everything.
