The moment Darius gave the order, a group of knights in armor rushed out from all directions, as if to block Eris' path and completely block the only entrance.
At the same time, an even greater number of knights wearing armor and holding long swords rushed up from below the execution platform, trying to capture Eris.
"Hmph."
Seeing this clearly pre-arranged setup, Eris didn't care at all and showed a cold expression.
In the next second, she quietly drew the long sword from her waist and greeted the group of knights who came to attack her.
"Bang!"
The moment the Sword King's power was displayed, many knights suddenly realized what a terrifying opponent they were facing.
Eris didn't even use the Longsword of Light, but just casually swung her sword, and the pressure it emitted directly sent many knights flying.
She didn't hold back at all, her movements were like ghosts, she directly killed her way to the front of many knights, and as if it were an illusion, she shattered all the weapons of the knights without anyone around being able to see her movements clearly!
Seeing such an amazing scene, the knights of the kingdom's knight order in the distance showed nervous expressions. It was only at this moment that they realized what kind of existence they were facing.
For a Sword King, let alone dozens of knights, even if the number was doubled several times, it would just mean a few more sword swings.
Back then, Shirou was already able to suppress the entire Shirone Kingdom during his Sword Saint period, which shows the great advantage of Sword God Style in legion warfare.
If they wanted to suppress Eris, the Asura Kingdom would have to send at least 40% of its knight order to have a chance to take her down head-on.
However, because the space where the execution platform was located was too narrow, only a very small number of knights could enter it. Most of the knights were waiting outside, ready to prevent irrelevant people from entering.
Now, relying only on the knights around the execution platform, there was no possibility of defeating Eris.
"..."
While the knights of the knight order were showing panicked expressions and didn't know what to do, Darius on the surrounding high platform revealed a smiling expression.
He was obviously not panicked by the current situation, or rather, everything was developing as he had expected.
Although only Eris had come to rescue the prisoner, and Ghislaine's whereabouts were currently unknown, which made Darius somewhat worried, but as long as he could take down Eris, Ariel's camp would be missing an arm, and Ghislaine alone as a Sword King would inevitably be unable to hold out!
Darius therefore suppressed the joy in his heart as much as possible, and secretly issued an order.
"Whoosh!"
In the next instant, Eris, who was wreaking havoc on the execution platform, changed her expression drastically and looked in horror at a corner not far away.
There, Aubel, the North Emperor, whom she had met before, reappeared.
Moreover, it wasn't just the North Emperor. The three North Kings who had appeared before also reappeared, appearing from all sides, forming a siege and not giving Eris a chance to escape.
Eris didn't want to escape. She still stood coldly in place, silently raising the long sword in her hand, like a brave warrior guarding a pass.
Seeing this scene, Aubel showed an interested expression and said, "Interesting, really interesting. Knowing that there is no way out ahead, you still came here. Do you still have trump cards you haven't revealed, or are you just purely brave but without brains?"
"..."
Eris didn't respond to Aubel's words.
She just silently raised the long sword in her hand and adopted the Longsword of Light stance.
"Alright, since you want to fight, I'll give you a chance to fight."
Aubel said with a smile, and looked at the North Kings next to him. "This little girl will be taken care of by me. You guys keep a close eye on Sauros' side, to prevent a sneak attack by the black wolf Sword King Ghislaine."
"Okay."
The North Kings generally approved of Aubel and nodded without hesitation.
They were indeed very worried about Ghislaine, who hadn't appeared until now, and suspected that she might still be hiding in the dark, ready to make a move at any time.
Eris, who was far away, frowned slightly when she saw Aubel, the North Emperor's cautious attitude.
But she didn't panic at all. Without hesitation, she gripped her long sword and was about to move forward.
"Eris..."
Sauros looked at his granddaughter, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. With mixed feelings, he wanted to say something.
"Grandfather?"
Eris also politely paused, waiting for Sauros's teaching.
Sauros hesitated for two seconds, and finally said with a smile, "As a child of the Boreas family, don't give up even if you have to fight to the death!"
"Okay!"
Eris nodded.
The grandfather and granddaughter smiled at each other.
Eris finally rushed towards Aubel's direction without looking back.
Seeing Eris's movements, Aubel didn't take any extra action, but stood calmly in place.
Eris frowned slightly at this scene.
After all, Longsword of Light is a slash that can't be taken head-on. This is a principle that everyone in the world knows, and it's impossible for a dignified North Emperor to not understand this.
Back then, Shirou was able to suppress Alexander, the third generation of North God, with Longsword of Light at the Sword King level, which had already proven the advantage of Longsword of Light in sword skill battles.
Aubel clearly saw Eris unleash Longsword of Light, but still didn't take any action. This undoubtedly made Eris feel suspicious.
However, Eris's will was strong enough after all.
Even knowing that there was a problem, she still didn't intend to slow down her pace.
After all, Sword God Style can never be confused about one's own sword. Once you are confused about the sword itself, the sword will become dull, and you will eventually be unable to unleash the true Longsword of Light.
Eris didn't hesitate and rushed towards Aubel at full speed.
Just as she was about to reach Aubel's location, Eris's expression suddenly trembled, and her movements showed a strange wobble.
Because just as Eris was about to touch Aubel, she found that the ground beside her feet suddenly sank, and because her speed was too fast, her right leg was directly stuck and difficult to move.
Seeing all of this happen as he expected, Aubel said with a smile:
"Hehe, what an honest move, the speed of Sword God Style is indeed very fast, and Longsword of Light is indeed the strongest sword skill, but this is both an advantage and a disadvantage... As long as we North God Style don't collide head-on with Sword God Style, we can still suppress Sword God Style's Longsword of Light by creating targeted designs to create traps."
"..."
Eris frowned at Aubel's words, but she didn't panic because of this.
The only thing Eris cared about now was that she couldn't accept that she hadn't seen through her opponent's trap.
She felt that she should be more confident and calmer. If it was Shirou, he would definitely be able to see through the trap.
Yes, Eris had always used Shirou as her goal, gradually striving to become stronger. She had always referred to Shirou's actions and Shirou's thinking, learning how to become a Swordsman.
When she became a Sword King and left the Holy Land of Swords, she originally thought that she had done it, that she had become a Swordsman as excellent as Shirou.
But now she suddenly realized that she was still far from it.
Must be calmer.
Must be more careful.
Must pursue victory more ardently!
Eris made a fiery resolution in her heart, and then directly stabbed her sword into the ground, even disregarding whether it would hurt her leg, and directly tore off a layer of skin from the earth.
"What?"
Aubel looked at Eris's actions with an unbelievable gaze.
He had designed several more layers of traps in that trap. If an outsider used violent force to destroy it, it would trigger the mechanism and cause chain destruction.
He originally thought that Eris, who was so impulsive, would have her leg smashed along with it.
But what he never expected was that Eris's movements were bold and careful. At the critical moment, she pulled her leg out of the trap, seized the only opportunity, and escaped the trap's restriction.
"No wonder you got the title of Mad Sword King, you really are a maniac..."
Aubel was stunned and surprised by Eris's behavior.
After all, no normal person would make such an uncalm move at the cost of possibly crippling their right leg, but Eris not only did it, but also successfully escaped the bondage.
This made Aubel dare not underestimate the red-haired woman in front of him anymore.
"Even though I had made preparations beforehand, I still couldn't completely suppress her."
Aubel smiled as he looked at Eris. Although he was speaking softly, Aubel's attitude was still very confident. "If you were a Sword Emperor, I might really have no way to deal with someone like you, but it's a pity you're not. In that case, don't blame me for bullying the weak."
"Have you said enough nonsense?"
Eris frowned, as if she felt that Aubel was saying too much.
Aubel didn't say any more, and nodded. "Then, let me formally introduce myself. I am [Peacock Sword] Aubel Colbert!"
"Eris Boreas Greyrat."
Eris responded silently.
The attention of both of them was focused to the extreme in an instant.
And in the next instant!
"Boom!"
Aubel drew his sword with his left hand and put his right hand's sword back into its sheath. That was the standard North God Style technique - Twenty Slashes!
Faced with Aubel's initiative to attack, Eris naturally didn't retreat, and directly rushed up with a Longsword of Light.
But what she never expected was that Aubel's movement was just a feint. The sword in his hand had become a strange bag at some point, and he immediately threw the bag he was holding.
The bag slowly drew a parabola towards Eris's direction.
Because Eris had already made the Longsword of Light action, she had no way to dodge, and could only subconsciously cut down the bag in the air.
At that moment, something like smoke suddenly spilled out of the bag, and Eris's face was directly sprayed by those objects...
"Cough cough... Cough cough!!"
Because of the powder sprinkled on her face, Eris's eyes shed big tears, and she kept sneezing.
"Hehe, just now it was a special tear gas mixed with spices."
Aubel approached Eris with an easy-going movement. "This is my special skill of the North God Style Oddball Faction. Don't think I'm despicable."
"You bastard...!!"
Eris's eyes temporarily lost their function, but she didn't lose her resistance because of this. Instead, in the absence of vision, she forcibly aimed at Aubel and swung a slash based on her other senses and intuition!
This exaggerated combat instinct startled Aubel, who quickly retreated to avoid the attack.
But he wasn't scared off by Eris just like that. After pulling away a little distance, he suddenly began to chant!
"Sword, light the fire!"
After chanting, Aubel's sword was surrounded by flames.
This is basic fire magic, which can make the sword surrounded by flames. Because the attack effect is low, it's more like acrobatics magic than attack magic.
However, after releasing the magic, Aubel took a step to the side and quickly took out a bottle of oil from his waist and swallowed it in one breath.
"Pfft!"
Aubel sprayed out the oil in his mouth directly, and ignited it through the flames on the sword, attacking Eris.
Unexpectedly, the other party would have so many despicable tricks. Eris was completely unable to resist, and her whole body was directly hit by the sprayed flames and knocked away.
When Eris's figure reappeared, she was already covered in burns and seriously injured.
"...Damn it."
Although she knew from the beginning that she was no match for the North Emperor, such a humiliating defeat still made Eris unacceptable from the bottom of her heart.
She gritted her teeth and stood up from the ground, still maintaining a fighting stance.
"Knowing that you're no match, you still want to fight me?"
Aubel looked at Eris's appearance and frowned slightly. "Is she too simple, or does she have other plans? It's really hard to see through her."
"Stop talking nonsense, I haven't lost yet!"
Eris didn't say much, and directly swung the long sword in her hand.
Aubel hesitated for a moment, but didn't care too much after all, and didn't think that his victory would be shaken. He started this unilaterally suppressed battle again.
…
The hill of yellow sand of unlimited swords.
Countless broken swords floated under the red sunset, and the many gears in the dark sky had also stopped turning imperceptibly.
The sound of the collision of chaotic and broken swords had completely disappeared at some point.
All that remained was a red-haired figure, covered in blood and wounded from a hundred battles, and a white-haired figure, dim to the point of almost disappearing, standing facing each other.
"You're almost risking your life to defeat me."
Servant Emiya looked at Shirou in front of him, who was already burned out and even on the verge of death, and slowly said with a self-deprecating tone: "That's right, you've always been this kind of person. Emiya Shirou has always been this kind of existence. He never cares about himself. No matter how battered and broken he is, he will do his best to save others."
"That's right, I will do it. I will save them, save everyone."
Shirou used the broken sword body to support himself and struggled to stand up from the ground.
Behind him, countless broken swords were like a symbol of how fierce and cruel the battle just now was.
"Is that so? But how long can your will be carried out?"
Servant Emiya slowly said with a questioning tone, "Do you really think that you can really save everything with your own hands?"
"At least before my life is exhausted, before the blood in my body runs dry, I will do it."
Shirou gritted his teeth and responded silently, "I will definitely do it!"
"Hehe, then let me see, to what extent can you do it?"
Servant Emiya's figure finally couldn't support itself. He looked perfect, but in reality, he had long been unable to support himself. His figure disappeared with the yellow sand.
At the same time, the many gears in the sky of unlimited sword creation also completely turned into nothingness with the disappearance of Servant Emiya, as if they had never appeared.
Only unlimited sword creation itself had completely turned into Shirou's power, and existed here with Shirou!
