Chapter 963: The Flash of the Saint vs. Swallow Reversal!
Chapter 963: The Flash of the Saint vs. Swallow Reversal!
"That level of power, and he claims it's just his warm-up exercise!"
Upon hearing Ye Cheng's words, Stil Inverse couldn't help but clench his fists in anger, pounding them into the ground, and glanced slightly anxiously at Shinra Kyoko on the other side.
If Ye Cheng had made such a statement earlier, both Shinra and Stil would have thought he was boasting. However, after experiencing the fleeting yet powerful surge of magic from Ye Cheng, they now believed that he wasn't exaggerating.
As Shinra's companion, Stil had some understanding of her abilities. "Seven Flashes" was already her most powerful technique in her normal state. If there was another power she could draw upon, it would likely be the power of the "Saint."
Saints possess a portion of the "Child of God's" power, allowing them to temporarily surpass the realm of mortals.
However, this formidable power came at a cost. Even with a Saint's more resilient body, using divine power with a mortal vessel could easily lead to overload and physical strain.
"My magic is called 'Salvare000' (Latin: Salvation), and I will give it my all in the upcoming battle."
As Stil said, "Seven Flashes" was Shinra's strongest technique in her normal state. Now, if even this move couldn't harm Ye Cheng, she seemed to have no choice but to resort to the power of the Saint.
After sheathing her command sword, "Seven-Day Seven-Blade," Shinra crouched slightly, and in the next instant, her body vanished from its original position!
Each Saint possesses a "Child of God," but their abilities are unique.
Shinra's Saint power allows her to enter the divine realm when using her stigmata, granting her incredible speed that surpasses the speed of sound and allows her to effortlessly dodge bullets traveling at subsonic speeds.
With a booming sound in the air, Shinra appeared before Ye Cheng without warning, her speed even surpassing his from moments ago.
At this distance, her movement seemed almost indistinguishable from teleportation.
Previously, Shinra's "Seven Flashes" utilized steel wires to deliver slashes without requiring close proximity to her target. However, she now chose to move at divine speed to get closer, indicating her intention to unleash her ultimate attack!
"This stance... is it a sword-drawing technique?"
It was common knowledge that sword-drawing techniques emphasized extreme speed, and Shinra's upcoming strike was the culmination of her heart, body, and technique, honed to perfection.
Using the power of the "Child of God" could exert tremendous strain on the body, but Shinra, through her rigorous training and skill, had devised a method to briefly tap into the divine realm while minimizing the burden on her body.
She would activate her Saint power, "The God-Splitter," for a fraction of a second during the sword-drawing technique.
The already swift sword-drawing attack, enhanced by a mere fraction of a second of Saint power, not only increased its speed and might but also prevented muscle damage despite surpassing human limits.
Furthermore, the originally rapid sword-drawing technique became even more astonishing when combined with the power of "The God-Splitter."
When Shinra executed this ultimate and swift sword-drawing technique, she would also launch attacks using the principles of other religions, skillfully maneuvering around specific religious taboos.
In the world of magic, Shinra Kyoko, a master of the sword, possessed a unique attack style, combining the techniques of Christianity, Buddhism, and Shintoism, each complementing the other's weaknesses to unleash devastating power.
And with a single draw of her sword, she unleashed her ultimate technique—the "Only Flash"!
Compared to Stil Inverse's awe-inspiring Trinity "Witch Hunter King," Shinra's "Only Flash" lacked flashy effects, its sole distinction being its extreme speed.
As the blade's gleam flashed before Ye Cheng, even with his experience across multiple worlds and profound understanding of swordsmanship, he couldn't help but be amazed by Shinra's lightning-fast draw.
Just as Shinra appeared before Ye Cheng, ready to unleash her "Draw Cut," Ye Cheng's magically crafted longsword extended in length, growing by more than half under the influence of his own magic.
With his heart, body, and technique reaching the pinnacle of speed, Ye Cheng recalled a similar move he had witnessed recently. With his current swordsmanship, replicating the technique perfectly was well within his capabilities.
As Shinra drew the "Seven Days, Seven Swords" from its sheath with the power of a saint, Ye Cheng's body moved simultaneously, initiating his counter.
In the realm of godspeed, Shinra, witnessing her deadly draw cut, was astonished to see that Ye Cheng's slash matched her own in both speed and skill.
Three simultaneous slashes approached from different directions, defying the concepts of time and space, overlapping perfectly.
Had it not been for Shinra's access to the power of a saint, granting her entry into the godspeed realm, she might not have been able to perceive Ye Cheng's attack, and her fate could have been sealed.
"Seven Days, Seven Swords—Only Flash!"
"Secret Sword—Swallow Return!"
On one side, Shinra's speed reached the realm of gods, employing various techniques in a deadly draw cut. On the other, Ye Cheng's slash surpassed the limits of speed, precision, and feints.
