"You say you want to fight me?"
Hearing Shirou's words, a hint of interest finally appeared on the face of the Sword God Gal Farion. Some enthusiasm emerged in his originally cold expression.
But he didn't nod in agreement directly. Instead, he questioned, "Why should I agree to you? Do you think you have the right to make me draw my sword?"
Regarding the Sword God's question, Shirou didn't respond directly. Instead, he spoke up, "I don't know if I have the right to make you draw your sword, but I do know that your strength is probably not as good as the Dragon God Orsted."
"Oh? You mean you've fought the Dragon God?"
"Kind of..."
Shirou didn't describe the details of his fight with Orsted too much. After all, it involved his Servant form. Although the matter of his Servant form was already known by many people, Shirou still hoped that the news wouldn't spread further if possible.
And the Sword God obviously didn't care how he fought the Dragon God.
This strongest Swordsman of the human race just glanced at him silently, and became a little more serious. He said, "Alright, if you have the ability to fight that Orsted, then I can give you a chance. Use all your moves. Whether it's swordsmanship or other moves, use all your attempts to defeat me!"
"..."
Shirou's expression changed slightly at the Sword God's words.
He wasn't nervous because the Sword God agreed to the duel. Instead, it was because the Sword God actually saw that he could use abilities other than swordsmanship.
This could also explain why the Sword God didn't pay much attention to him just now.
Probably in the eyes of this Sword God, he had already judged from the beginning that Shirou wasn't a qualified Swordsman. Shirou's abilities in swordsmanship weren't good enough.
The Sword God saw through all of this, but didn't say it directly. He just used various words, trying to make Shirou give up.
But Shirou's character has always been to face difficulties head-on.
The more difficult the situation, the more he would do everything he could and try his best.
Even if the price was being smashed to pieces and using up everything!!
"I'm coming."
Shirou took a deep breath and once again stepped onto the battlefield with Sword God Gal Farion.
Ghislaine couldn't help but want to stop him when she saw this. She didn't think Shirou had the ability to engage in a real fight with the Sword God. However, her actions were stopped by Eris.
"Big brother can do it!"
Eris looked confident, "Even if the opponent is the Sword God, I believe he will definitely not lose!"
"This..."
Ghislaine was very confused by Eris's unfounded confidence.
But she missed the opportunity to stop the fight from starting because of this brief development.
In the distance, Shirou and the Sword God were already standing at opposite ends of the meeting place, preparing to fight each other.
"Kid, I won't bully the young. I'll just use Sword King level strength to fight you."
The Sword God spoke generously, "But don't become careless because of this. I am the Sword God. Even if I only use Sword King level fighting spirit, I am still the Sword God!"
"Of course, I understand."
Shirou didn't show any urgency towards the Sword God's attitude.
He just watched the other party silently with the attitude of facing an ordinary opponent, and in the next moment, he took out the Emerald Bow from the package behind him.
In the previous battle, he had realized that it was difficult to compete with the Sword God with swordsmanship alone.
If he wanted to pursue victory, he had to use all his means.
"Whoosh!"
At the moment when the bowstring was drawn, Shirou's heart suddenly fell into silence. In a state of mental clarity, his eyes saw many things he couldn't usually see.
Especially some invisible threads that existed around the Sword God!
Those threads seemed to be made of pure energy. There weren't many of them, but each one was in a very key position, like a barrier protecting the Sword God, sealing everything.
However, Shirou quickly realized that those threads didn't exist for protection. From each thread, he could feel an unprecedented terrifying aura. If those threads were released, they would probably unleash unprecedented destructive power!
"..."
At the moment of seeing those threads, Shirou was extremely nervous for a moment. Even his hands began to tremble slightly, unable to draw his bow and shoot immediately.
"Eh? You actually saw it..."
The Sword God Gal Farion had been mocking and even laughing at Shirou's attitude of not daring to attack before. But this time, he showed an expression of approval, and said with a strange attitude, "It seems that although you are very ordinary in swordsmanship, you are very talented in archery... Oh, I understand, it's your eyes. I noticed before that your eyes were different. So it's Hawkeye."
"You know Hawkeye?"
Shirou was a little surprised by the Sword God's words. He thought the other party would say that his eyes were clairvoyance. This was something Orsted could also judge before, but Orsted didn't say that his eyes were Hawkeye. Instead, the Sword God directly stated that his eyes were Hawkeye.
The Sword God smiled calmly at this, "Because I have similar eyes. As long as you reach the realm of God in a certain skill, it is easy to have such eyes, eyes that can see through reality."
"So that's how it is..."
Shirou then realized why the Sword God could see through his essence at a glance before. And even that he didn't actually have swordsmanship talent could be seen through at a glance.
It turned out that the Sword God also had something similar to Hawkeye.
This type of eye is different from clairvoyance and Ghislaine's eyes. It's not a special magic eye, but purely forged by skill and talent. It's an extraordinary vision that can only be obtained after reaching the peak in a certain field.
This type of eye usually can't directly produce an effect in battle, but it is also an extremely special ability. It can see through all illusions and reality.
It was precisely relying on such special eyes that the Sword God could see through Shirou's weak interior swordsmanship at a glance and evaluate his swordsmanship as a fake.
Of course, because it is an eye of skill created by technique, anyone who reaches the peak in a certain field can easily have it.
The Sword God and Shirou's eyes are special enough make it impossible to tell which is superior.
So, Shirou doesn't need to pay too much attention to whether the Sword God has magic eyes at the moment. Instead, he needs to first find a way to break through the other party's special defense.
That ability purely made of threads is obviously a type of fighting spirit swordsmanship, but it seems to be more than just fighting spirit and swordsmanship. There is something even more unique in it.
"What's wrong, still not attacking?"
The Sword God seemed to be getting bored and couldn't help but yawn. "You were so confident just now, but is this all you've got?"
Shirou didn't care about this provocative attitude at all.
He knew how low his chances of defeating the Sword God were.
For him, this battle was less about trying to defeat the Sword God and more about showing his strength and finding the things that the Sword God saw but he didn't from this battle.
"Huff..."
After a long observation, but still unable to find a flaw, Shirou had no choice but to choose a quick attack.
Since the opponent doesn't reveal a flaw, he would use his own skills to force out the opponent's flaw. This was Shirou's usual approach!
"Clap!"
"Clap!" "Clap!"
So, a rain of arrows was fired.
Shirou used projection magic to directly project arrows and fire them.
"Eh? There's actually this kind of magic?"
The Sword God showed a surprised expression for the first time when he saw Shirou's actions and mistakenly thought Shirou's magic was real magic.
But his attitude was still lazy. He just raised his hand without caring.
In the next moment, even though the Sword God didn't even draw his sword, the arrows that Shirou shot fell to the ground out of nowhere. They were even neatly cut in half.
"Alright, anything else?"
The Sword God looked at Shirou, and a hint of expectation flashed in his eyes.
Shirou didn't respond to this. He just kept thinking back to the scene that just happened in his mind and realized that it was those threads surrounding the Sword God that cut off all the arrows he shot.
What exactly are those threads?
He couldn't understand all of this, but Shirou was too lazy to think about it anymore.
He just needed to try his best to defeat the Sword God!
"I Am The Bone Of My Sword!"
In an instant, as the chant sounded, the twenty-seven magic circuits in Shirou's right hand were fully activated and created a projected weapon——
"Projection Complete!"
"Fake Spiral Sword!"
As the strongest long-range attack that Shirou possessed, since he didn't have the ability to approach the Sword God now, he could only use this long-range method to pull open the distance!
"Clap!"
As Shirou drew his bow and fired an arrow, the arrow flew out like lightning.
Shirou also made a broken phantasm motion at the same time.
In order to prevent the Sword God from destroying his weapon again, he had to completely destroy the entire area where the other party was in one go!
"Boom!"
The fake spiral sword tore through space, crossed an extremely long distance, instantly arrived beside the Sword God, and after the broken phantasm, it caused a huge explosion!
After the amazing loud noise ended, Shirou stared intently at the direction where the Sword God was.
He never thought that he could kill the Sword God with this move. That was impossible.
For him, as long as he could injure the Sword God with this attack and reveal the truth of those threads, that would be enough!
However, what Shirou didn't expect was that after the smoke cleared, the Sword God's original figure had disappeared at some point.
In the next second, his mind's eye sent out an extremely exaggerated warning. It was the strongest warning his mind's eye had ever sent, second only to when he faced the Dragon God!
"!!"
Before he could react, Shirou blocked with his bowstring in the first instance.
"Clap!"
In the next moment, the Emerald Bow was directly torn apart by an invisible sword. The Emerald Bow that had accompanied Shirou for so long was destroyed just like that. At the same time, an amazing sword energy tore through space and directly tore open an exaggerated crack in the place where Shirou was originally!
If he hadn't used the bow to block it, the sword just now would have split Shirou directly in half!
