Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

Therefore, what Kurogane Ikki just said has spread very well.

That's why everyone was shocked.

In fact, it wasn't just Makoto Haramura who thought Sarah's abilities were incredibly powerful; everyone else thought so too.

It can directly imitate others, replicating their characteristics, signature moves, and sword-wielding abilities.

That's Sarah's ability.

Such an ability can be described as ever-changing.

However, this ability still has its drawbacks.

That means it takes a certain amount of time before you can draw the figures.

Even if Sarah is highly skilled at drawing, it's impossible for her to depict a person in a single second.

She rarely participates in these kinds of competitions, so it doesn't matter.

Her previous opponents were all weak; as long as she used white paint to create a barrier, they couldn't break through her defenses.

She can then focus on painting.

However, the Kurogane Ikki in front of him was clearly different.

Sarah was still worried about the power and speed he had displayed in the previous match. She didn't know if she had arrived in time to draw the white boundary, and she didn't know if the defensive barrier she drew could stop Kurogane Ikki's burst of power.

"it is good."

Sarah was taken aback for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

She didn't know what Kurogane Ikki was thinking, but since such a good thing was happening, she couldn't possibly let it go.

"—The match begins."

That is, the moment the referee swung down on the leader, Sarah's pen tip directly touched the white paint on the palette.

In an instant, a white horizontal line appeared directly in front of her.

"—'Guidance of Pure White'!"

A white line lay between the two.

Kurogane Ikki looked at Sarah with an unchanged expression.

It didn't matter whether Sarah believed him or not, as long as he didn't attack, he could just stay put and wait for Sarah to finish the painting he wanted to make.

Now that he's certain to get his magic license, he's no longer obsessed with winning this match.

He had no desire to fight an opponent like Sarah, who hadn't even reached the level of a demon.

However, in order to fulfill his promise to face Makoto Haramura in the finals, he still had to eliminate Sarah in front of him.

Moreover, Sarah has no chance of beating Makoto Haramura.

He felt even less burdened.

However, at least don't let this guy get too desperate.

"It turned out to be true."

Sarah was also somewhat surprised, but her surprise didn't last long.

"Shh!"

At that moment, the sound of air being flung around rang out rapidly.

The empty space was quickly filled with various colors, and the outline of the human body was created in just a few seconds, imprinted on the eyes of all the onlookers.

Sarah was intently splashing paint, her expression one of utmost focus.

Even the white line that separated the space in front of him disappeared without her noticing.

She now trusts Ikki Kurogane.

"I knew Ikki would be in trouble!"

Makoto Haramura paused for a moment, a hint of helplessness flickering in his eyes as he glanced at the screen.

He knew that Kurogane Ikki would make such a condition, asking Sarah to finish the painting beforehand.

"Could the person she's copying be...?"

As the image on the screen gradually took shape, Stella's chopsticks paused slightly.

Her pink lips unconsciously parted.

"No way, does this woman's ability mean she can even simulate a demon?"

Stella turned around in shock and looked at Noel.

I think it's probably not possible.

"However, I think it shouldn't be a problem to copy most of the abilities."

"If she handles it well, there might even be an unexpected surprise."

Makoto Haramura also slightly closed his eyelids.

At the same time.

"Wow!"

Like the finishing touch on a painting.

Sarah's final stroke completes the character's facial features.

next moment.

"Ha ha……"

Sarah's breathing became heavy.

Her magic was drained by about seven-tenths at once. After such a huge loss of magic, the character she created finally came to life from the paper.

The same face, identical attire, and completely identical spirit dress.

"It's Kurogane Ikki, yet another 'Uncrowned Sword King'."

The host shouted enthusiastically.

A scene of someone competing against themselves is almost unheard of. Not only was the host going wild, but the audience, who had been hyped up all morning, were also stirred up by the scene before them and cheered enthusiastically.

"I didn't expect you to choose to copy me. I thought you would copy Makoto's work."

Kurogane Ikki was stunned for a moment.

Makoto Haramura is the strongest player in this tournament; this was already a widely accepted fact before the tournament even started.

Given this level of imitation ability, one should naturally imitate the most outstanding figures.

So he didn't quite understand why Sarah had drawn himself.

“That won’t do. I’ve already decided that the first time I paint for him, it must be a work of art, a painting on paper.”

“It is absolutely impossible to depict him without his spirit in this way.”

Sarah shook her head firmly, and at the same time, she controlled her body and took two steps back.

"That's it."

Kurogane Ikki stared at his identical reflection across from him, remaining silent, but a slow, upward curve appeared at the corners of his mouth.

"However, it's not bad to have a chance to test myself."

Chapter 137 Something Interesting

What else can you do by challenging yourself to discover your own shortcomings?

The answer is no, of course not.

"on!"

Sarah stumbled and gave her orders directly to the fake 'Ikki Black Iron'.

With all his strength twisted into one rope, 'Kurogane Ikki' instantly accelerated and arrived in front of Kurogane Ikki in the blink of an eye.

Faced with such a challenge, Kurogane Ikki smiled.

The power of this strike, from any angle, perfectly replicated his power.

His strength, speed, and even his swordsmanship and angles were exactly the same as his own habits, without any difference.

That is why Ikki Kurogane became so excited.

"bring it on!"

Kurogane Ikki roared.

He raised the Yin Iron in his hand, pointed the blade upwards, and charged forward to meet the attack.

"clang--!"

A sharp, metallic clang instantly swept across the entire arena.

The trembling sound traveled through the microphone, spreading beyond the stadium and reaching the ears of the audience.

The eardrums were suffering, and the piercing sound kept echoing in their brains. Many viewers had involuntarily covered their ears and looked pained.

"Quickly cut off the radio."

Inside the commentary room, Mr. Hai Jiangtian's words rang out.

The painful sounds stopped spreading, but the competition on the field continued.

"—'First Secret Sword: Rhinoceros Strike'!"

The Seven Secret Swords is a sword technique created by Ikki Kurogane over several years, combining the essence of numerous schools of swordsmanship.

The "First Secret Sword - Rhinoceros Strike" utilizes Kurogane Ikki's superhuman body control to concentrate all the vectors of power into a single point, thereby unleashing his highest attack power.

Among his seven secret sword techniques, this can be considered the most powerful in terms of attack.

In other words, it is essentially releasing the power of the entire body in one point and one direction, which can unleash an attack power dozens of times stronger than oneself.

but!

Right opposite Kurogane Ikki, magical power also erupted from Kurogane Ikki's body at the same time.

Magic enveloped his body, enhancing his strength. Without using anything else, he stepped forward with his left foot.

The exact same angle, the exact same flow of magic, even the speed of the rapier was exactly the same.

"呲-"

The air was pierced directly, producing a sharp screech.

"Qiang——!"

Then, the two gleaming knives collided directly, blade to blade, like needles hitting wheat awns, striking the same point with perfect precision.

Then, as if they had planned it beforehand, they both flew backwards at the same time.

"It really feels like I have another version of myself."

Kurogane Ikki's eyes shone even brighter, as bright as torches in the night, full of vitality.

Stopping his backward movement, Kurogane Ikki instantly flexed the muscles in his lower body, sending a surge of energy from his waist to his wrist.

"—Second Secret Sword: Armor Cleave!"

The two-meter distance was covered in a single leap; Kurogane Ikki, who was elsewhere a second ago, appeared right in front of him the next.

The Second Secret Sword of the Seven Secret Swords, Armor Crack, is a zero-distance slash that transmits power from the lower body to the waist. In other words, it feels like striking with a short-range force.

"Qiang——!"

It's the same angle, the same force, and even the same idea that's being replicated.

The two pieces of Yin Iron clashed together again.

The force within a small space was transmitted through the mutually restraining sword blades to the opponent's wrists, and both of them subconsciously loosened their grip slightly.

But at the same time, the two gripped the sword hilts tightly.

"—The Sixth Secret Sword: The Blade of the Poison Moth!"
