The wild boar of Calydon is a demon beast.
The so-called demon beasts are a general term for all creatures that do not belong to the ecosystem of this world. Their existence is mysterious and beyond magic.
What's more, it is a demon beast that has existed since the Age of Gods, and as a servant of the moon goddess Artemis, even if its spiritual power is not as good as that of a divine beast, it is enough to rival that of a mythical beast.
Of course, if it was only this level, it would not have put the Greek warriors in a difficult battle. The biggest feature of the Calydonian boar is the unique way it exists. Although it looks like a living creature, it does not have the bones, nerves, flesh and other structures that a living creature should have, because its essence is a collection of hatred and desire, which just happens to be attached to the wild boar.
Because of this, the conventional judgment method is not applicable to it. This point has not changed even if it possesses Shinji and his hatred and desire are purified.
The white halo wrapped around his body in ten or twenty layers made Shinji's ability as a living being greatly improved while also changing his spiritual structure.
That's why Shinji can make such a sudden attack without any "starting action".
So, at the moment when Shirou was knocked away by the fist, Shinji completely ignored the necessary pause and continued to chase at a ghostly speed.
The speed of his pursuit was faster than that of Atalanta who was running at full speed, and was close to Achilles, who had the title of the fastest human.
But he was fast, and Shirou was not slow either. His "Shrinking the Earth" was an inhuman skill that could compete with Achilles's swift feet. He was just caught off guard by Shinji's strange movements. Now he reacted, and his body movements and katana took advantage of the situation and cut directly behind Shinji.
Shinji, whose body structure was completely changed, ignored the rules of physics and turned around, holding the katana in one hand and continuing to hit Shirou's head with the other hand.
The palm collided with the sharp blade of the sword, but no blood seeped out, instead white mist continued to dissipate.
A strange red light flashed in Shirou's eyes, which became blurred the moment the fist hit his cheek, and moved behind Shinji in the next moment - a dimensional jump.
Shirou held the sword across his shoulder, and his momentum suddenly changed.
Straight eyes
Shinji turned around in a hurry and a name instinctively came to his mind, but was immediately denied.
No, it’s not a straight eye. A straight eye means one hand, but he has two hands.
Could it be that!!!
By the time I realized something was wrong and wanted to retreat, it was too late.
Although no initial movement is required, the movement process still has to follow the laws of physics. The moment Shinji flew backwards, Shirou's sword also arrived.
The dimension twisted at this moment, and three knives appeared at the same time.
The space collapsed at this moment, and three slashes were superimposed on the three swords at the same time.
Three bright red spots shot outwards, quickly infecting the surrounding pure white.
"The superposition of the three thrusts of Yan Fan and Wu Ming?"
Shinji put his hand on the wound on his neck, a look of lingering fear still lingering on his face.
"Swallow Return" is a magic sword that cannot be avoided within the range, and "Wu Ming Three-stage Stab" is a magic sword that cannot be defended. The combination of the two means a true killing blow. If it weren't for "Blessed Wild Boar" which greatly weakened the concept of vital points, Shinji would have been seriously injured or even killed by that sword.
"Is it really possible?"
"able."
"But if I remember correctly, Okita Souji and Sasaki Kojiro's kendo are different. How did you-?"
"The path of martial arts has different paths but the same destination. Whether it is Okita Souji's 'ignorance', Sasaki Kojiro's 'infinity', or Miyamoto Musashi's 'zero', the destination is actually the same. The reason they are different is that they have not reached the true destination."
After making such a slash, Shirou seemed to have suffered considerable damage. He did not press on to win, but just explained while calming his breathing.
"It sounds like you've reached the end?"
"I guess so." Shirou nodded, "Although this destination is another.asxs.."
"So you haven't been trying your best?" Shinji frowned. Although it was not unexpected, this huge gap was really frustrating.
"No, I've been trying my best, the best I can do at this stage - don't understand? It's a simple truth. A warrior's strength is never one-sided. The mind, skills and body are all indispensable. Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's attributes are too poor. Even using 'Dimensional Jump' is so difficult, let alone the true sword mastery."
"I see. That's why you use the Command Spell."
Shinji certainly understands the principle, it is a required course for martial artists. And in the "Three-stage Swallow Return of Ignorance" just now, and at the critical moment before, Shirou used the command spell, presumably to strengthen his body to support a higher realm.
"Yes, now I am going to use up the remaining Command Spells all at once. Are you ready?"
Without waiting for Shinji to answer, an extremely powerful magic power burst out from Shirou's body.
"All Command Spells are released, and the spirit and energy become one!"
The miraculous power contained in the four just used and the five yet to be used, a total of nine great magic crystals, interacted and merged, resulting in qualitative change from quantitative change, and finally converged into a red beam of light that shot up into the sky.
Shirou's body and aura rose with the light column. The violent fluctuation of magic power could be clearly felt even outside the garden.
If Shirou is a sword, then previously it was hidden in the scabbard, occasionally coming out a little, revealing a hint of sharpness. But now, this precious sword has been completely unsheathed, revealing its sharp edge.
"To make the lawless into the law, to make the infinite into the finite - this is my perfection."
Shirou, who was pushed into the air by the overwhelming magic power, held the knife in one hand and swung it lightly downwards.
The red color spread outward from the tip of the blade, transforming into a crescent-shaped slash that whizzed out.
Wherever the sword was struck, there was distortion.
Shinji felt a sense of alarm in his heart and retreated quickly.
The next second after he left, the red slash landed, and the place where Shinji was, along with a large area of the surrounding ground, collapsed instantly, leaving only a huge pit.
"Is this... an upgraded version of Wuming's three-stage thrust? Remote phenomenon collapse?"
"Good eyesight. You can call it 'Void Slash';."
Shirou slowly put away his sword, stood there with a smile on his face, looking very courageous.
However, this kind of courage can scare the whole world, but it cannot scare Shinji.
"Void Slash, huh! Are you addicted to cosplaying Sephiroth? Why don't you say 'Eight Swords Flash'?"
Shirou held the sword with both hands and explained with a smile: "Because 'Eight Swords Flash' is an upgraded version of 'Swallow Return', it can release eight swords at the same time. Do you want to try it?"
"Just give it a try."
Facing such a powerful Shirou, Shinji was not afraid at all, because he was not fighting alone.
"Thoughts are power. Everyone, please lend me your power! The origin is - 'Transformation'!"
