Badi, as a demon king, has an extremely exaggerated amount of fighting spirit.
But just having strong fighting spirit doesn't mean you are strong.
It's like the Undead Demon King Atofe. Her fighting spirit is definitely stronger than the Water God and Sword God of the human race, and her protective fighting spirit is enough to block any attack.
But if Atofe fought against the Water God and Sword God, the latter two would probably win.
Because fighting spirit alone can't determine the outcome of a battle.
Sometimes, even overly strong fighting spirit can become a weakness.
Because strong outside forces can make people lose the will to train their skills, resulting in a strong body but no matching fighting skills.
That's why beings like the Dragon God and the Undead Demon King, unless necessary, don't use the power of fighting spirit, and rely purely on their physical strength to fight.
But Badigadi doesn't seem to have such restrictions. He directly showed off his exaggerated physique, covering his entire body with demon king-level fighting spirit.
"Okay, I'll let you attack first."
Due to the verbal agreement just now, Badigadi let Shirou attack him first.
Shirou didn't hesitate much. He directly grabbed the long sword in his hand and made the standard starting stance of the North God Style, Twenty Slashes.
But to his surprise, when he focused his attention on Badigadi in front of him, he suddenly felt a strange sensation, as if Badigadi in his vision was distorted in a strange way.
At first, he couldn't understand the reason for this distortion, but after careful thought, he found the answer.
It was that one of his eyes could see Badi, but the other eye couldn't see him at all.
At first, Shirou thought it was his imagination, but after careful inspection, he found that it was indeed the case. And, whether it was a coincidence or not, the eye that couldn't see Badigadi was exactly his magic eye.
Could there be something wrong with the magic eye Kishirika gave him?
Just as Shirou had such doubts in his mind, Badigadi spoke first: "What are you surprised about... Oh, I remember, the magic eye Kishirika gave you is Clairvoyance. This eye is good in every way, the only side effect is that it activates at any time, so it's very troublesome when you encounter individuals who are immune to magic eyes. Unfortunately, I have the characteristic of being immune to magic eyes."
"I see..."
He didn't expect that there were individuals with magic eye immunity in this world.
Shirou didn't doubt Badi's words, and quickly adjusted his state.
Although Clairvoyance couldn't see Badi, fortunately, for a long time after obtaining Clairvoyance, Shirou wore an eye patch on one eye to prevent the magic eye from going out of control.
So he was already used to fighting with only one eye.
He didn't close his magic eye either. Instead, he directly gave up using the function of the magic eye, and turned to staring at Badigadi with pure sight, and freely made movements, launching attacks.
"Twenty Slashes!"
As the only strong attack move in the North God Style, the speed of Twenty Slashes is almost comparable to Longsword of Light, but it only has the single advantage of speed. The power level is far worse than Longsword of Light.
Shirou's purpose in launching this attack was not to defeat Badi, but to test how exaggerated the opponent's protective fighting spirit was.
The result was naturally surprising to him.
His full-power Twenty Slashes not only failed to break through the fighting spirit, it didn't even create a ripple, and was directly bounced back!
"Hmm, the movements and strength are very good. Using human words, you can be considered a North Saint, but just like that, you can't defeat a demon king."
Badigadi rubbed his shoulder indifferently, as if he had just been bitten by a mosquito, "That won't do. I don't want to be said to be bullying, so bring out all your skills!"
While speaking, Badigadi directly charged towards Shirou.
As an undead demon king, the pressure he emitted was not to be underestimated.
Even ordinary fists contained the power to penetrate terrifying monsters.
Faced with this kind of attack, if it were the former Shirou, he might rely on the high mobility of the Sword God Style to dodge, avoiding the opponent's attacks with agility, and launching unscathed attacks.
But now, Shirou is wearing the armor given to him by the Sword God at all times, and is using the techniques of Swordsman while wearing shackles.
So he didn't have the confidence to completely dodge the demon king's fist, so he simply chose to take it head-on!
"Boom!"
The demon king's iron fist hit Shirou, but it didn't cause too much of a stir.
After Shirou took this blow without changing his expression, he turned around and slashed at Badigadi with a sword, also without causing any threat.
The two sides exchanged blows, lightly scratching each other for dozens of rounds, before finally stopping.
Badigadi laughed loudly and said, "It's been a long time since I've met such a refreshing opponent. Although you're relying on the power of your armor, being able to face me, Badi, head-on is truly admirable!"
"..."
Shirou didn't care that the advantage of his armor had been seen through.
Underneath the armor given to him by the Sword God, he was wearing a Dragon Blood Armor.
Relying on the ultimate defense provided by the Dragon Blood Armor, Shirou could easily take Badi's attacks, and even used Water God Style's moves to counterattack in the process, but he still couldn't break through the defense.
Demon king-level fighting spirit is just that abnormal.
If the offensive power doesn't reach a certain level, it's impossible to break through.
Among Shirou's current methods, without relying on the power of treasures, only relying on his own skills, probably only Sword God Style's Longsword of Light can do it.
But Longsword of Light is now sealed, so he must find another way.
"..."
Thinking of this, Shirou decisively changed his thinking and took out a spear from behind.
When Badigadi attacked just now, he specially asked Juliet to go back to the blacksmith workshop to bring out all the weapons he had forged.
The spear in his hand is not the spear he casually obtained as an adventurer, but a treasure that he specially forged during this time to use as his usual weapon - the Unbreaking Spear.
The so-called Unbreaking Spear is a treasure that corresponds to another treasure, Durandal.
According to legend, Durandal was transformed into a sword after the Unbreaking Spear was lost.
In other words, the Unbreaking Spear is the original form.
Its true name is also Durandal, but its effect is more clearly offensive than the sword Durandal.
As Servant Hector's treasure, the Unbreaking Spear has the characteristic of being able to penetrate anything. As a weapon, whether it is thrust out or thrown, it can unleash amazing destructive power, dealing a large amount of damage to the enemy.
Because he had experience forging Durandal, Shirou forged the Unbreaking Spear very smoothly, and easily completed the weapon.
The effect is almost infinitely close to the original version.
Shirou only casually fiddled with it during the trial use, and the amazing destructive power it emitted was enough to pierce ordinary magic circle barriers.
The reason for this is that as Hector's weapon, the characteristic of the Unbreaking Spear is extreme city-destroying power. Its role is to unleash power comparable to higher-level weapons when used to destroy highly defensive city walls.
Among defensive barriers, only treasures of the level of Rho Aias have the possibility of directly taking the throw of the Unbreaking Spear.
Shirou now held the spear with North God Style movements, instantly emitting a pressure comparable to the level of Servant himself activating a treasure.
Even the undead demon king Badigadi couldn't help but reveal a serious expression when he saw this scene, and his perfunctory movements began to become serious.
"Be careful."
"Okay, come on!"
Seeing that Badigadi had already made a defensive posture, Shirou didn't say any more words.
He just used the most simple and unadorned movement to perform one of the most common techniques in many North God Style techniques - throwing skill.
There are many kinds of North God Style methods, and throwing one's weapon is one of them.
And this is extremely compatible with the Unbreaking Spear weapon.
Shirou forged this weapon as his sidearm, also taking into account this factor.
"Pa!"
Now, Shirou took out Durandal, aimed it at Badi's location, and decisively released the power of the treasure.
"Target confirmed, direction and angle fixed! Unbreaking Spear!"
In an instant, the spear in Shirou's hand was like a shooting star, rushing straight towards Badi!
The ultimate magic power bloomed with dazzling light. Shirou brought North God Style's mysteries to the extreme, combined with the exaggerated characteristics of the weapon itself. The power of this attack, even if it is comparable to treasures of the level of Fake Spiral Sword, Galatine, is definitely not inferior!
"Boom!"
As the spear arrived in front of the demon king, Shirou's spear almost instantly pierced through Badi's fighting spirit that covered his entire body. Like cutting tofu, it directly reached the opponent's body, and pierced through his chest!
With just this one blow, Badigadi was completely hit.
And accompanied by a loud bang, his entire upper body was directly shattered.
Seeing this scene, Shirou suddenly froze, suspecting that he had been a little too ruthless.
After all, this strike was the strongest killing move he had researched during this time, and its offensive power was already in the first tier among all his current methods.
If this spear couldn't solve the opponent, he probably wouldn't be able to find a more lethal attack method.
But precisely because of this, Shirou seemed to have overestimated the defense of the demon king, and there was no need to use such a killing move from the start.
Thinking carefully, the Undead Demon King Atofe, who claims to be the strongest demon king, didn't catch his full-powered Sword of Assured Victory.
There was certainly a reason that the power of the treasure would be stronger in Servant Emiya's form, but it was enough to show that the so-called Undead Demon King's defense was not as terrible as imagined, at least not as exaggerated as the Dragon God.
Shirou has been using existences like the Dragon God as his opponents, and unconsciously forgot that other than the Dragon God, no one else in this world has such exaggerated overall strength.
Shirou was therefore very worried that Badigadi would be directly smashed to death by his spear.
Just as he was worrying, he discovered that the six-armed demon king quickly walked out of the smoke, and reappeared in front of him.
Although the demon king looked much weaker than before, and his aura was not as strong, he was still standing in place.
"Hahaha, what a powerful blow. If I didn't have stronger regeneration ability than my sister, I'm afraid I would have really been in danger!"
"..."
Badigadi's performance surprised Shirou.
He never expected that the opponent would be so strong that he could take Durandal head-on, and still be unharmed.
This kind of regeneration ability can indeed be described as abnormal.
For a time, Shirou was really scratching his head, wondering how he could truly defeat such an exaggerated demon king!
"Although this match is strictly speaking considered my loss, how should I say it, I'm a little unconvinced to some extent. Then, let this battle continue!"
Badigadi charged over with more swift movements than before.
For some reason, even though the movements seemed disorganized, Badi's fists carried a more exaggerated destructive power.
It was a martial art that could not be described in words, like a crystallization formed by the word destructive power.
"Boom!"
After being hit by such a fist, Shirou was almost sent flying on the spot. Even the Dragon Blood Armor failed to completely block the destructive power of this blow, causing blood to flow from the corners of his mouth.
That attack was not right.
Shirou made a judgment in his mind.
Badigadi may not be as he said, just an ordinary demon king. At least the Undead Demon King Atofe from back then didn't give him the pressure that Badigadi gave him that moment.
Although he used Servant form when fighting Atofe, he has already grown a lot now, and even if it is compared to Servant form, it is not too far away...
Shirou's thoughts were in progress, and Badigadi actually chased after him like lightning.
The opponent's movements attacked again, fast as lightning.
Seeing Badi's martial arts again, Shirou finally realized why he felt familiar, and he realized that this was a move that Dragon God Orsted had also used!
Moreover, Badi's moves touched upon the essence even more than the Dragon God.
Of course, because Orsted is said to use all the martial arts in this world, Shirou didn't overthink the relationship between Badigadi and Orsted.
He just reacted as much as possible, trying to resist the demon king's attack.
In the current situation where Sword God Style cannot be used, Water God Style and North God Style cannot defeat the demon king, and even the Unbreaking Spear cannot function, Shirou's means can be said to be quite few.
In desperation, Shirou realized that he might only have one choice.
That is to use the technique that he did not successfully use when facing Orsted back then - Unlimited Blade Works!
In the past, Shirou didn't want to use this power unless it was absolutely necessary, for fear of the connection with Servant Emiya becoming closer, but after coming to Magic University, he also changed his thinking, realizing that if he wants to create magic that surpasses Unlimited Blade Works, he needs to completely master Unlimited Blade Works itself first!
