Chapter 871: The Unyielding Myth - Spear of Destiny!
Chapter 871: The Unyielding Myth - Spear of Destiny!
As the spear pierced towards his head, Ye Cheng felt a rare sense of trepidation.
"Divine Declaration" possessed the same causality-reversing ability as "Piercing Thorn Spear."
The moment it was unleashed, the "effect" of the opponent's body being pierced would be created first. The "cause," the spear hitting its target due to the body being pierced, would follow afterward.
In simpler terms, once this causality-reversing technique was used, the attacked individual would first experience the "effect" of being attacked, making it a move that could be described as an instant kill.
To counter such a technique, one would either need an incredibly high level of luck, enough to even reverse the causality of a guaranteed hit.
Or, they would need to be powerful enough to withstand this lethal strike, like B-Shu, who could afford to lose a life after being stabbed, or Red A, who used a Noble Phantasm to block it directly.
However, compared to Cu Chulainn's "Thorned Spear," Gilgamesh's Divine Declaration, with almost no lengthy wind-up, was already inches away from Ye Cheng before he could react.
Ye Cheng had various means of evasion, such as Instant Step and spatial magic, which could allow him to travel long distances in an instant.
Yet, against a causality-reversing technique, once locked on, even running far away would be futile.
So, facing the spear that had already thrust towards him, Ye Cheng could only choose to take the hit head-on!
The long sword in his hand, a magical artifact, now had intricate patterns resembling electric current lines running along its blade due to Ye Cheng's enhanced magic.
When the tip of Divine Declaration collided with Ye Cheng's long sword, countless sparks instantly erupted from between the two weapons.
"The Divine Declaration in my hand, though it pales in comparison to Estray Sword Ea, is still one of the most powerful Noble Phantasms among my treasures.
With its True Name released, this A+ rank Noble Phantasm, can your reinforced magical artifact stand against it?"
Gilgamesh, gripping the spear, exuded arrogance and confidence. In terms of physical ability and martial arts skills, even with some training, he knew he couldn't compare to Ye Cheng.
But in this clash of weapons, the deciding factor for victory, aside from their respective mana, lay more in the grade of their armaments.
Divine Declaration was a renowned divine weapon in Nordic mythology, and the Spear of Destiny was no laughing matter. Ye Cheng's finely crafted magical artifact long sword, even with its exceptional quality and Ye Cheng's considerable mana, couldn't rival Gilgamesh's lethal spear!
"Crack, crack——!"
As if to validate Gilgamesh's words, along with the prolonged clash between Divine Declaration and Ye Cheng's long sword, a fine crack began to form on the blade of Ye Cheng's sword.
Despite being reinforced by enhanced magic, the A+ rank Noble Phantasm, when pitted against an ordinary magical artifact long sword, the grade difference was evident.
As time passed, Ye Cheng's long sword, under the assault of Divine Declaration, began to shatter inch by inch, eventually disintegrating into countless fragments.
Witnessing the shattering of his long sword, Gilgamesh's excitement was palpable. He immediately channeled more mana into his divine spear and thrust it towards Ye Cheng's head once more!
"Die, Night God Ye Cheng——!"
Seeing the shattered long sword and the approaching Divine Declaration, Ye Cheng, after a moment of hesitation, felt the electric current of his enhanced magic surge through his arm once again.
Mana flowed from his armpits and back, instantly tearing through his cheap casual wear, and without flinching, he punched the cold glint that had already pierced before him.
"Enhanced—Extreme Instant Smash!"
"Boom———"
The moment his fist collided with the A+ level Divine Declaration, a massive surge of mana instantly shattered the chains that had originally encircled them.
A spherical aura formed around Ye Cheng and Gilgamesh, expanding at an astonishing rate and spreading outward.
Under the immense pressure of mana, the floors, stairs, and even the ceiling became as fragile as tofu, instantly reduced to dust upon impact.
A
For an ordinary person, the injury that had pierced her back would have been fatal.
B
As long as her head wasn't pierced, even if her heart or other organs were damaged, she wouldn't die immediately.
Of course, this was likely also because the body created for her by Ye Cheng was far superior to that of a typical android.
A
Unfortunately, their retreat was far slower than the shockwaves spreading around them.
J
"Source Light Barrier, Fan-Shaped Rampart, Arc Light Gleaming, Silent Determination, Circular Gate Shield!"
A
In this world, the energy consumed by the Death God's Onmyodo had transformed from spiritual power to mana.
The combination of incantations and the shift in power systems made the original Onmyodo more akin to magic in the Type-Moon universe.
As Sakura's teacher, Ye Cheng naturally wouldn't withhold any teachings, so in addition to sword techniques and combat skills, he had also taught Sakura the first fifty Onmyodo spells before his departure.
H
After all, the malice and murderous intent Sakura had displayed towards them at the Einzbern residence couldn't have been a joke.
B
"Don't get the wrong idea. I intervened to save you solely because Teacher Ye Cheng helped you before, so I judged you to be of use to him."
