The wind is blowing.
The water is flowing.
The fire is leaping.
The iron vibrates.
Earth, water, fire and wind, the four most basic elements in the world in the eyes of the ancients have achieved perfect unity in the hands of the young swordsmith.
It seems like a reincarnation, or like a world, giving birth to a unique treasure, which gradually takes shape with repeated hammering.
In the interval between the hammers falling, the young man who inherited the name of Senko Muramasa muttered to himself vaguely.
Sometimes low, sometimes high, sometimes young, sometimes old.
"clang!"
"Fire burns the earth, smelting it into iron."
"clang!"
"After a hundred times of tempering, steel becomes steel."
"clang!"
"Forged with a thousand hammers, a famous sword is made!"
In a trance, the figure of an old man seemed to appear on the body of the thin young man. He had white hair and beard, a strong body, and the red protective gear covering his entire left arm was particularly eye-catching.
They are clearly two people, but their overlapping figures are so harmonious, as if they are the same person.
"clang!"
"So you've always been here, Master..."
"It is just the spirit that resides in the forging hammer. My old spirit has been burned out, and my spiritual foundation has collapsed. It should not exist in this world. However, someone told me that my destiny has not yet arrived, and I still have a mission to accomplish."
"clang!"
"What mission?"
"Before entering here, I hadn't figured it out. King of Heroes Gilgamesh, Lord of Shadow Kingdom Scathach, King of Conquerors Iskandar... There are so many heroes who have left their names in history, why did an unknown swordsmith like me choose to be the one?"
"clang!"
"Yeah, why?"
"Now I understand, because there are some things that only I can do, right here on this land. Indeed, this is a different direction from the ultimate sword that I pursue, the sword that cuts off karma, cuts off fate, and cuts off sin. However, this is also the ultimate, just like the emptiness and infinity that swordsmen pursue, there is no difference between high and low. Perhaps, you are more suitable for this path."
"clang!"
The hammer was extremely powerful, sending sparks flying everywhere.
The cycle of reincarnation converges, the world shrinks, and the alternating rhythm of earth, water, fire and wind becomes more intense.
"A sword is a sharp object. It is the steel that cuts through flesh, severing bones, and chopping off lives. The origins of divine swords, demon swords, demon swords, and Shura swords all lie here."
The wind is rushing, the spring is leading the way, the flames are roaring, and the spirit is overflowing.
"Listen, the beating of the knife."
"Show me the true nature of the sword."
Finally, the cycle of reincarnation ended, the world shattered, and a peerless sword as long as ten fists broke through the forge and fell into the hands of the young man.
Because it was a new knife, it only had the blade, without the handle, hilt, scabbard, and other accessories. However, the old man and the young man didn't care, and they directly grasped the end of the blade with their bare hands and swung it heavily towards the distance.
It is still the most proficient move of the old man and the young man - "trial cut"!
"Look carefully, everything is continuous."
"The divine sword is right here. This is my Ten Grasp Muramasa!"
Suddenly, the sky was frightened, the earth was shocked, and a thrilling crack appeared between heaven and earth.
This crack spans the distance between the two mountaintops, starting at Liudong Temple and ending at the altar on the barren mountain.
Everything along the way was cut open with one stroke!
A large-scale barrier set up in advance by Medea.
After Solomon revealed his true appearance, he added a temple-level barrier.
The magical aftershocks of the confrontation between Beast's candidate primate killer and Solomon, one of humanity's supreme guardians of Qiqi.
The fantasy entanglement between Elquet and Eltrauch.
The demon summoned by Stuart.
Brad's inherent barrier, Ghost March, is fully activated.
And the Beast II candidate, the fundamental reason why Kotomine Kirei became a Beast, the inherent barrier that imitated Genesis, the Beast King's Lair!
It all got split in two!
The magicians were shocked, the heroes were amazed, and the most horrified were the inhuman monsters who had broken free from the limits of their lifespans, especially Kotomine Kirei.
He opened the inherent barrier and reenacted the creation of the world, and he was sure of victory. No matter how strong the person was, if he couldn't break the world he manifested, he would be swallowed by the sea of life.
And he had investigated beforehand, and found that none of the enemies he had drawn into the barrier had such ability. It would not take long for Kirei to devour them completely and turn them into his own nourishment.
At this moment, his world, his genesis was cut open, cut open from the outside.
"How is this possible? Who is it, who is it?" Kirei roared in anger.
The old man in the distance gently lowered his arm and whispered: "Because this is the Ten-Grip Sword, even though it is a fake."
Ten-grip Muramasa, Muramasa is the suffix of swordsmith, and Ten-grip is the real name. It is taken from the sword of the gods in Japanese legend, the Ten-grip Sword, also known as the Ten-fist Sword.
This is the most legendary sword in Japanese mythology. Izanagi, the father of the gods, used this sword to behead Kagutsuchi, the god of fire, and Izanami, the mother of the gods, used it to drive away Izumizu Hiyonae.
After that, the sword fell into the hands of the sea god Susanoo, the son of the two gods. Susanoo used this sword to kill the most powerful monster in Japan, Yamata no Orochi, so the sword was also called Ame-no-Habe-zan. (In ancient Japan, the big snake was called "Habe", and Ame-no-Habe-zan means to kill the big snake in the name of the gods)
It is not difficult to see from these deeds that this is a magic sword that has beheaded gods, driven away ghosts, and killed demons. It has extremely high lethality against such high-level fantasy species, especially fantasy species with immortality, because snakes are a symbol of immortality.
The non-humans gathered at the altar, including vampires, ghosts and beasts, perfectly meet these conditions. Especially since Roa's title is "Akasha Snake", it is not difficult to understand why he can exert such powerful lethality.
After swinging this earth-shattering blow, the old man's figure, which had finally appeared, faded again, and even the forging hammer held in the young man's hand became illusory.
"Master, you..." the young man was anxious.
"Don't be sad, Shirou. Using the divine sword with human body will cost you your life. I am already dying, and now my fate has come to an end."
The old man looked normal, and his calm expression showed an open-minded attitude towards the world.
"I have fulfilled my duty as a master. Now it is up to you to choose. Whether you want to inherit my long-cherished wish and forge a sword that cuts off karma or take another path is up to you. I just hope you remember that no matter what path you take, don't dishonor the name of Senko Muramasa."
"Yes, Master." The young man spoke with force and force.
"Then I can leave without any worries."
As the old man spoke, he closed his eyes, and his body and hammer disappeared together, leaving only his final whispers echoing in the wind.
"A sword tomb built with thousands of swords and tens of thousands of blades as its symbol."
"To reach this point is the culmination of all phenomena."
"What is displayed here is the long-cherished wish of all things."
"Here, the non-karma of all phenomena is accumulated - only through countless studies can one reach the parable."
PS: Anyway, Uncle Muramasa has already made Ame no Murasaki, so it doesn't matter if I make another one called Tenfist Sword. I am a professional in making fakes.
PS2: Shirou: I am also professional in making fakes.
Erye: But, you can’t project the divine creation.
Shirou: Who said that? In Mooncell, as long as the Master supports me, I can project the Divine Creation, and I won't die when using the Divine Creation.
Erye: Then you have the ability to rub the opposite side with your hands.
Shirou: ...
