Chapter 360 - Chapter 360: Unlimited Blade Works!

The Water God's Deprivation Sword World took away the ability to move from everyone present. Its over-the-top ability made the scene seem like a completely silent space, with only the Water God Reida's footsteps slowly echoing.

Apart from the Water God herself, no one dared to move even half a step in this area, not even daring to shift any extra body parts, completely frozen in place.

This even included the two Sword Kings, Eris and Ghislaine, as well as Isolte, the Water King.

Yes, even Isolte, the Water God's disciple, had her ability to move taken away after entering the Deprivation Sword World.

The Water God Reida's Deprivation Sword World was simply an indiscriminate attack on everyone present. It didn't distinguish between friend or foe, completely taking away the power to move from anyone in the area.

If anyone dared to move even a little, they would face the same fate as the previous North Saint, directly torn to pieces by thousands of swords.

Faced with such power, Eris originally didn't quite believe it and wanted to move her feet, even to support Shirou's fight.

But she only moved one step. In that simple moment, the Water God Reida instantly tilted her sword, and Eris's Achilles tendons and wrist tendons were cut at the same time.

Blood splattered as flesh tore, and Eris was completely stripped of her ability to move.

"How could this be...?!"

For a moment, a look of unwillingness appeared on Eris's face.

She had trained in the Holy Land of Swords for so long, and thought she had enough power to avoid the helplessness she had experienced before when facing the Dragon God in the Red Dragon's jaws.

But unexpectedly, the result was still the same.

Whether facing the Dragon God Orsted, or the old current Water God Reida Reia in front of her, she had no ability to resist, and was easily completely suppressed by the other.

Although Eris could still grit her teeth and continue to move even with her Achilles tendons and wrist tendons cut, she also already realized that she was no match for the Water God.

The scene then entered a completely silent state.

Whether it was the Ariel faction's Sword King Eris, Ghislaine, or the Darius faction's North King, or the Water God's disciple, the Water King Isolte.

All of these royal-level masters were trapped in place by the Water God's Deprivation Sword World, unable to take any action.

Shirou was naturally the same, covered by the Deprivation Sword World's area, making it difficult to move.

Everyone realized that the entire execution ground was within the Water God Reida's attack range, understanding that if they made any rash moves, they would die instantly.

The only one who could move was the Water God Reida herself, but she seemed to be maintaining the Deprivation Sword World, so her movements weren't as fast as before, but rather slow, walking step by step towards Shirou with a slowness befitting her age.

"It seems like it's over..."

The Water God Reida looked at Shirou with a calm gaze, "After having your ability to move taken away by this Deprivation Sword World, ordinary people would never think of moving even half a step in this area, let alone launching a counterattack against this old woman within this Sword World."

"There are only two ways to break this Sword World. One is to have a speed faster than this old woman's sword, using ultra-high-speed movement that even the Sword World can't catch, to break this old woman's sword. But even the Sword God Gal Farion couldn't do that. His only chance to defeat me is to defeat me before this Sword World is opened."

"Another way is to have a defense that this old woman's sword can't cut through. But you just saw, this sword skill of mine, which combines Void Cut and Still Water, has power comparable to your Sword God Style's Longsword of Light. Not to mention humans, even the Demon King of the Demon Race wouldn't be able to withstand this old woman's strikes."

"So, this battle ends here. It's a pity, although I really hoped to see you inherit Water God Style and challenge the strongest Dragon God Orsted, but before that, I must stop your attempt to kill Darius."

After the Water God said this, she walked towards Shirou at the same speed as before.

Everyone could feel that the moment the Water God arrived where she could touch Shirou with her sword, the latter's life would be in danger instantly.

Shirou also noticed this, but he didn't become anxious because of it. Instead, he maintained his calm judgment and suddenly raised his right hand the moment the Water God approached him.

"Still want to resist? That's a stupid choice."

The Water God Reida shook her head, and almost at the same time, activated the power of the Deprivation Sword World.

Shirou's raised right hand was instantly struck by dozens of slashes that cut through the air.

Those were attacks that could tear an ordinary person's body to pieces!

Shirou, of course, had no possibility of breaking through such an exaggerated technique. He had no way to directly withstand the Deprivation Sword World no matter what.

However, Shirou's hand was not torn apart.

The slashes from the Deprivation Sword World made clear clanging collision sounds the moment they touched Shirou's arm, as if they had struck a piece of metal!

"This..."

The Water God was stunned by this scene, but then she immediately realized the situation, "Is it armor? What kind of armor is that on your body? How can it be so strong?"

Naturally, Shirou wouldn't waste time explaining the existence of the Evil Dragon Blood Armor to the Water God.

After all, although the Evil Dragon Blood Armor had extremely exaggerated defensive abilities and could weaken most of the damage from attacks, since the Water God's sword skills were also extraordinary, once the number of attacks accumulated, it would still damage his body.

So, what Shirou had to do now was to seize the opportunity as much as possible, rely on the power of the Evil Dragon Blood Armor to buy time, and prepare to unleash his final trump card!

"Trace, On!"

"Rho Aias!"

The moment Shirou's projection unfolded, a petal-shaped shield opened in his hand.

There were a total of seven petals on the shield, each containing extremely powerful defensive abilities.

While using Rho Aias, Shirou also created a large number of swords around him, forcibly isolating the Water God's Deprivation Sword World with the physical environment!

However, this kind of thing could only delay the Water God's footsteps at most, and couldn't really stop the other's actions.

In fact, it was true.

Almost at the same time as Shirou acted, the Water God Reida had already taken action in response to his movements. The old woman's body shook with afterimages, and the shape of the sword was not fixed. The only thing that could be confirmed was that the speed of her sword was so fast that it was almost impossible to detect with the naked eye.

Every time Shirou projected a sword, the Water God Reida's Deprivation Sword World would instantly shatter the weapon projected by Shirou completely, and the speed at which Shirou projected weapons completely couldn't keep up with the speed at which the Water God's Deprivation Sword World destroyed weapons.

Soon, there were fewer and fewer projected weapons around Shirou, and even several layers of Rho Aias were destroyed in an instant.

However, although the situation looked very bad, Shirou still blocked the Water God's attack.

Although it was only a brief block, and as time went on, the defense line was destined to become weaker and weaker, but for Shirou, this brief time was his greatest opportunity!

"I am the bone of my sword!"

Shirou shouted the chant in a loud voice, and his voice rang out at an extremely fast speed and spread throughout the entire execution ground.

The moment his voice sounded, the surrounding space inexplicably emitted a cold temperature, and blue flames began to appear invisibly in every corner of the scene.

Seeing this scene, the Water God Reida paused instinctively, thinking that Shirou had used some dangerous ability, but she quickly realized that those flames didn't have any destructive power, and that the other hadn't used any dangerous methods.

Despite this, the Water God still didn't let down her guard and began to accelerate the activation of the Deprivation Sword World, destroying Shirou's defenses. Although she felt that Shirou had no way to withstand her attacks, as a Swordsman, the Water God still wanted to stop Shirou's actions and prevent any accidents from happening.

So, a visual spectacle appeared on the execution ground.

Shirou was constantly creating projected weapons around him, but these weapons were torn apart by invisible sword energy almost as soon as they appeared, turning into broken wreckage.

"Clang,"

"Clang," "Clang," "Clang,"

As countless sparks shattered, the scene became like a meat grinder of swords.

Moreover, the speed at which Shirou created weapons was gradually unable to keep up with the speed at which the Water God destroyed weapons, and the situation was clearly moving in an unfavorable direction for him.

But Shirou's expression still didn't waver in the slightest. His firm look seemed to have anticipated this scene from the beginning, and he was prepared and determined to overcome all difficulties!

He began to gradually chant, and his chant was completely different from his previous chants. This time, he was using his own language to reinterpret the existence of Unlimited Blade Works!

"I am the bone of my sword!"

"Steel is my body, and fire is my blood!"

"I have created over a thousand blades,"

"Unknown to Death, Nor known to Life."

"Have withstood pain to create many weapons,"

"Yet, those hands will never hold anything."

"So as I pray, Unlimited Blade Works."

At the end of the chant, blue flames suddenly enveloped the entire execution ground, enveloping everything around it and completely changing everything around it.

In the shocked gazes of the people around, everyone soon found that the space they were in was no longer the execution ground of the Asura Kingdom's capital, but had become a chaotic and desolate wasteland.

Swords upon swords were stuck in the wasteland, like endless fields, constantly extending towards the void, but without seeing the end.

"This... what is this?"

Everyone on the scene showed surprise the moment they saw all of this.

Eris and Ghislaine didn't expect Shirou to have such abilities at all. They looked at each other, and didn't know what expression to use to describe their shock.

Isolte was also surprised, staring blankly at Shirou, not expecting that the other could do something so beyond her imagination.

She had already prepared herself to see Shirou defeated by her master.

At the same time, she had also prepared to plead with her teacher.

Yes, Isolte didn't think there was anything right about the Water God's actions after all. The other had always required Water God Style disciples not to be involved in politics, but the Water God herself had stepped into the mire of the Asura Kingdom's throne succession, which was already quite bad. If the other also killed Shirou because of this, or even killed more people, Isolte would definitely not accept her master's actions.

Of course, part of this also belonged to Isolte's personal feelings. She didn't want to see Shirou die in front of her eyes.

However, all of these thoughts ultimately turned into nothingness with the appearance of Unlimited Blade Works.

Even Isolte had already realized that this battle didn't seem to have ended with the Water God releasing Water God Style's strongest secret technique - Deprivation Sword World.

Shirou still seemed to have the ability to fight against the Water God!

...

Unlimited Blade Works enveloped the scene in a shocking form, and the exaggerated power of the Reality Marble covered the entire execution ground and changed all the surrounding environment!

Compared to the past Unlimited Blade Works, the Unlimited Blade Works released by Shirou now had undergone obvious changes.

It was no longer like Servant Emiya's Unlimited Blade Works, with huge gears covering the sky, and an atmosphere like a steel incinerator filled with smoky aura, nor was it the snowy ice and frozen earth that he had once used against Angelica.

The Unlimited Blade Works that Shirou now presented was an endless sky, and a field of swords that emerged under that clear blue sky.

Unlimited Blade Works is a Reality Marble, and a Reality Marble is the mental expression of the holder's heartscape, and the essence of the spirit that is ultimately displayed.

In Shirou's current heart, he was no longer trapped in Servant Emiya's obsession with being an ally of justice, nor was he like when he was saving Miyu, willing to completely give up his own will in order to protect his sister.

Now he had shed all his greenness and uneasiness, showing all of himself in a more pure and more essential form.

This was Emiya Shirou's true will, and the true form of Unlimited Blade Works!

"Come on, Water God, this is the real final battle."

Shirou casually pulled out a sword from the ground, and aimed the tip of the sword at the old woman in the distance.

His expression didn't show any arrogance because of the use of Unlimited Blade Works, and he didn't feel that he would definitely win because of it.

For him, all he had to do now was to try his best to pursue the only victory!

Whether it was victory or defeat, they were things to be savored after a full-force battle!

Before that, he would keep fighting, keep fighting, until his body completely collapsed and shattered, until his will was as worn out as a sword by thousands of uses!

He would never stop walking until his flesh and bones were completely broken like swords, and would keep fighting until the last moment!
