The water goddess Leda shook her head, and almost at the same time, she activated the ability to strip the Sword Realm of its power.
Shirou's raised right hand was struck by dozens of slashes that came flying through the air almost instantly.
That was an attack powerful enough to tear an ordinary person's body to shreds!
Shirou had no chance of breaking this exaggerated technique; he could never directly resist the Sword World.
However, Shirou's hand was not torn.
The slash from the Sword Realm made a crisp clanging sound the moment it touched Shirou's arm, as if it had struck a piece of metal!
"This……"
The water goddess was stunned by this sight, but then she immediately realized what was going on. "Is that armor? What kind of armor are you wearing? How can it be so sturdy?"
Shirou, of course, wouldn't waste time explaining the existence of the Evil Dragon Blood Armor to the Water God.
After all, although the Evil Dragon Blood Armor possesses extremely exaggerated defensive capabilities that can reduce the damage of most attacks, the Water God's swordsmanship is also extraordinary. Once the number of attacks accumulates, it will eventually damage his body.
Therefore, what Shirou needs to do right now is to seize the opportunity as much as possible, rely on the power of the Evil Dragon Blood Armor on his body to buy time, and prepare to unleash his final trump card!
"Projection, start!"
"The blazing sky covers seven rings!"
The moment Shirou's projection unfolded, a petal-shaped shield appeared in his hand.
The petal shield has a total of seven petals, each containing extremely powerful defensive capabilities.
While using the Sevenfold Ring of Blazing Heaven, Shirou also created a large number of swords around himself, forcibly isolating the Water God's Sword Realm by using the physical environment!
However, something of this caliber can at most delay the water god's progress, but it cannot truly stop the opponent's actions.
Indeed, that is true.
Almost simultaneously with Shirou's actions, the water goddess Reda also launched an attack in response to his movements. The old woman's body swayed, leaving afterimages, and the shape of the sword was not fixed. The only certainty was that the speed at which the sword was drawn was so fast that it was almost imperceptible to the naked eye.
Every time Shirou projects a sword, the Water Goddess Reda's Sword Deprivation Realm instantly shatters the projected weapon completely, and the speed at which Shirou projects the weapon is no match for the speed at which the Water Goddess's Sword Deprivation Realm destroys the weapon.
Soon, the number of projected weapons around Shirou dwindled, and even the Sevenfold Ring of Blazing Heaven was destroyed in an instant, with several layers being destroyed.
Although the situation looked quite messy, Shirou still managed to block the water god's attack.
Although it was only a brief respite, the defense was bound to weaken over time, but for Shirou, this short period of time was his greatest opportunity!
"This body was born from the sword!"
Shirou shouted out a chant, his voice rising at an extremely fast speed and spreading throughout the entire execution ground.
The moment his voice rang out, the surrounding space inexplicably emitted a chilling temperature, and azure flames began to appear invisibly in every corner of the scene.
Upon seeing this, the water goddess Leda instinctively paused, thinking that Shirou had used some dangerous ability. However, she quickly realized that the flames were not destructive and that the other party had not used any dangerous means.
Nevertheless, the Water God remained vigilant and began to accelerate the process of stripping away the Sword Realm, destroying Shirou's defenses. Although she felt that Shirou was no longer able to withstand her offensive, the Water God's instinct as a swordsman compelled her to stop Shirou's actions and prevent any unexpected incidents from occurring.
Thus, a truly spectacular scene unfolded at the execution ground.
Shirou continuously created projected weapons around himself, but these weapons were torn apart by the invisible sword energy almost the instant they appeared, turning into shattered remains.
"Ding,"
"Ding," "Ding," "Ding,"
As countless sparks shattered, the scene resembled a meat grinder of knives and swords.
Furthermore, Shirou's weapon-making speed was gradually falling behind the speed at which the Water God destroyed weapons, and the situation was clearly shifting in his unfavorable direction.
Kashiro's expression remained unwavering, his resolute look suggesting that he had anticipated this situation from the beginning and was prepared and determined to overcome all difficulties!
He began to chant, and the chanting was completely different from before. This time, he was using his own language to reinterpret the existence of Unlimited Blade Works!
"This body is made of sword!"
"Blood tides as iron, heart as crystal!"
"Undefeated across countless battlefields!"
"Never tasted defeat! Nor have I ever tasted victory!"
"I am here all alone, forging a sword on Sword Hill!"
Therefore, this life has no meaning.
"This body is destined to be formed from the Infinite Sword!"
"—Unlimited Blade Works!"
As the chanting ended, azure flames suddenly enveloped the entire execution ground, engulfing everything around it and completely altering everything in their path.
Amidst the shocked gazes of those around them, everyone quickly realized that the space they were in was no longer the execution ground of the capital of the Asura Kingdom, but had instead become a chaotic and desolate wilderness.
Swords and blades are stuck in the wilderness, like endless fields stretching towards the end of nothingness, yet with no end in sight.
"This...is this?"
Everyone present who witnessed this moment was visibly astonished.
Alice and Kyrie were completely taken aback by Shirou's abilities. They exchanged a glance, unsure how to describe their shock.
Izuru was equally surprised, staring blankly at Shirou, never expecting that he could do something so beyond her imagination.
She was already prepared to see Shirou defeated by his master.
At the same time, she was also prepared to plead with her teacher on her behalf.
Yes, Isorti doesn't think the Water God's actions are right at all. He has always asked the Water God School disciples not to get involved in politics, but the Water God himself has stepped into the quagmire of the Asura Kingdom's succession to the throne. This is already quite bad. If he kills Shirou or even more people because of this, Isorti will absolutely not be able to accept her master's behavior.
Of course, this also included some of Isorti's personal feelings; she didn't want to see Shirou die in front of her.
However, all these ideas eventually vanished with the advent of Unlimited Blade Works.
Even Izuru had realized that the battle did not seem to end with the Water God unleashing the Water God Style's strongest secret technique—Deprivation of the Sword Realm.
Shirou still seems to possess the ability to fight the water god!
……
Unlimited Blade Works enveloped the scene in an astonishing manner, and the exaggerated power of the Reality Marble covered the entire execution ground, changing everything around it!
Compared to the Unlimited Blade Works of the past, the Unlimited Blade Works that Shirou releases now has undergone significant changes.
It was no longer like Emiya's Unlimited Blade Works, with huge gears looming in the air and an atmosphere like a steel incinerator, filled with the smell of gunpowder. Nor was it the snow-covered frozen tundra he had used when fighting Angelica.
What Shirou's Unlimited Blade Works presents now is an endless sky, and under that clear blue sky, a field of swords emerges.
Unlimited Blade Works is a Reality Marble, and a Reality Marble is the spiritual essence that is ultimately manifested by the mental landscape of the wielder.
In Shirou's heart now, he is no longer trapped in the obsession of being a heroine like the Heroic Spirit Emiya, nor is he willing to completely abandon his own will to protect his sister, just like when he saved Miyu.
Now he has shed all his immaturity and unease, revealing his true self in a purer and more authentic way.
This is Shirou Emiya's true will, and the true form of Unlimited Blade Works!
"Come, water god, this is the real final battle."
Shirou casually pulled out the sword from the ground and pointed the tip at the old woman in the distance.
His expression did not show any arrogance because of the use of Unlimited Blade Works, nor did he think that he was sure to win.
For him, the only thing to do now is to give it his all and pursue that one and only victory!
Victory or defeat, these are things to savor only after a battle fought with all one's might!
Until then, he will fight and fight until his body completely collapses and shatters, until his will is worn down like a sword!
He would never stop until his flesh and bones were completely broken like swords, and he would fight to the very last moment!
Chapter 361 Shirou Suppresses the Water God! The Grerat Family Arrives in Asura!
"Is this... magic?"
When Unlimited Blade Works fully manifested in the form of a Reality Marble, even the water goddess Lydia couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
She glanced around at the unfamiliar surroundings, as if she had never imagined that magic could create such a thing, and was completely overwhelmed by the awe of Unlimited Blade Works.
Of course, this shock would not shake the water god's belief in victory.
Or rather, the water goddess Reda believed that even if Shirou used such peculiar magic, he could not possibly defeat her.
He remained calm and composed, gripping the golden sword passed down through generations of water gods, and spoke without wavering: "I didn't expect you to possess such extravagant magic. No wonder even the Second Northern God had such high expectations of you. But unfortunately, even with such magic, you can't change the outcome of this battle. After all, compared to swordsmanship, the biggest disadvantage of magic is its extremely slow activation speed."
The water god's words were not arrogant, but rather a very fair assessment.
In this world, anyone can see the infinite potential of magic and the potential to develop promising technologies. However, even so, the only forces in the world that are truly researching magic today are the Magic Three Kingdoms, located in the north of the central continent, which are forced to research magic due to a lack of resources.
Apart from the Magic Three Kingdoms, most of the top powers lack interest in and investment in magic.
The Kingdom of Asura, the Kingdom of King Dragon, and the Holy Kingdom of Milis are all countries that do not value magic and are unwilling to study it.
The fact that the three strongest human nations all held this attitude shows just how insignificant magic truly is.
Generally speaking, only a handful of small countries are willing to study magic.
The main reason for this situation is that magic lacks potential in warfare.
Because of the slow casting speed of magic, as mentioned by the Water God, magic has very low practical value in this world and is rarely valued by the military.
After all, even a Saint-level mage could be killed by an ordinary swordsman if they are not careful, let alone when facing a professional assassin.
Mages lack close-combat skills and their bodies are too fragile, making them difficult to use on the battlefield.
To date, the greatest use of mages has been in the realm of adventurers.
Since adventurers often have to deal with monsters and other mindless creatures, and these creatures often have very strong shells with enough defense to render most swordsmen's slashes ineffective, slow-to-cast but powerful magic can be very useful in such situations.
Therefore, most magicians who graduate from magic universities eventually become adventurers, teaming up with adventurers of other professions to hunt monsters or conquer dungeons.
Magicians are rarely involved in the armies of various countries.
This situation, accumulated over the years, eventually led to the ingrained impression that magicians lacked practical combat skills, further hindering the advancement of magic itself and making it increasingly difficult to develop magic with practical value.
Even Shirou had similar thoughts about this stereotype until he met his younger brother Rudeus, whose talent was exaggerated and who could use magic without chanting, and his views on magic changed slightly.
Even Rudeus, due to his lack of close combat ability, finds it difficult to fight a truly strong opponent one-on-one and often needs the assistance and support of his companions to be effective.
In conclusion, the Water God's evaluation of Shirou was not arrogant; it could be described as moderate.
Based on general knowledge of magic, they believed that although Shirou's Unlimited Blade Works looked amazing, it was unlikely to affect the battle.
Shirou did not try to persuade the water god with words about his idea.
To prove that one's Unlimited Blade Works can defeat the Water God, what is needed is not dialogue, but actual action.
Only by defeating the Water God in actual combat and stripping him of the Sword Realm can everything be proven!
Shirou then slowly raised the sword in his hand, making a gesture as if to meet the water god.
"too slow."
In response to Shirou's actions, the Water God spoke coldly and subtly shifted the golden sword in his hand, activating the power to strip away the Sword World's strength.
Even within Unlimited Blade Works, the Water God's Blade of Deprivation was still at full power, and several of its slashes instantly reached Shirou, aiming to sever his sword-wielding arm.
Are you sure I'm the one who's slow?
Shirou spoke without changing his expression in the face of the water goddess Reda's attitude.
At the same moment he finished speaking, several longswords stuck in the surrounding sword mounds suddenly flew over and directly blocked the water god's sword energy.
"Ding,"
"Ding," "Ding,"
Sparks flew.
The swords and their energies collided and eventually canceled each other out.
"what?!"
The water god's expression changed slightly.
The sword that had just rushed from the sword hill was so fast that even her Sword Realm of Deprivation could barely keep up, resulting in the Sword Realm of Deprivation's attack being completely blocked.
This situation completely deviated from the water goddess's understanding and knowledge of magic, making her realize that Shirou's Unlimited Blade Works might not be the magic she knew in common sense, but something much more difficult to understand!
"Snapped!"
While the water goddess was shocked by the incomprehensible speed at which Unlimited Blade Works could be activated, Shirou took the initiative and launched an attack on the water goddess Reda.
