Chapter 741 - 741
"I see, I understand now!"After pondering for a moment, the commentator suddenly had an epiphany.
"The Sword God created by contestant Sara isn't a replication of the Sword God himself, but rather a recreation based on her perception of the Sword God! Once the Sword God's performance exceeds her perception, she's helpless!"
"That's exactly right."
Kaieda nodded approvingly.
As expected of someone qualified to be a commentator in such a major tournament—his comprehension ability is excellent, and he speaks quickly.
"The Sword God suddenly using dual swords must have been because he discovered this limitation!"
Kaieda declared with great certainty.
"If contestant Sara doesn't patch the fake Sword God or has any other trump cards, then she's definitely going to lose!"
"Alright! Go for it!"
"I'll always support the real Sword God!"
Seeing Eiji gaining the upper hand, the fans in the audience seats immediately erupted in cheers.
On the field.
Just as Kaieda said, Eiji had also long discovered this limitation in Sara's ability.
The clue came from yesterday.
During Sara's battle with his senior sister, she had created a fake version of him.
Therefore, this seemed strange.
If she could already create a fake version of him, why was she still so insistent on having him be her nude model?
Couldn't she just have the fake him take off his clothes to see his nude body?
Wouldn't using the fake him as a model accomplish the same for completing that painting?
However, Sara didn't do this.
She remained fixated on having Eiji personally model for her.
Then, there could only be one answer!
The fake him simply couldn't expose his nude body!
Because the created Blazer was born from Sara's own perception, and Sara had no perception of Eiji's nude body, the fake him's nude body would definitely be fake—not the real Eiji's nude body!
Thinking this way, everything made sense.
It was at that moment Eiji realized that Sara's Fantasy Mimicry wasn't omnipotent!
Sara herself must possess that perception to be able to recreate that Blazer!
If she herself didn't know what the target looked like, she couldn't recreate that Blazer!
For example, if Sara were to draw an alien, what she'd likely draw would be a big-headed doll, not the real alien!
Of course, as a world-class top painter, Sara's imagination is certainly vast, so what she draws might not necessarily be a big-headed doll, but the principle remains the same.
Therefore, under the absolute condition that Sara did not possess the perception that "Eiji is a dual swordsman," the fake Sword God naturally wasn't a dual swordsman either!
Suddenly employing dual swords would inevitably overwhelm the fake Sword God!
However, this would only give him the upper hand.
Eiji deeply understood how troublesome he could be—unless his combat power was several times greater, defeating him wouldn't be easy!
Even if a combat power advantage was formed, there was always the possibility of him turning the tables. Regarding this, Mr. Roa should have plenty to say!
This is what makes Eiji, the swordsman, exceptionally fearsome.
This isn't him boasting about himself, but simply stating facts!
Therefore, a different strategy was necessary!
And now, Eiji was putting this strategy into practice!
A single slash was unleashed.
As the false Sword God moved to intercept, another slash followed without pause!
The false Sword God had no choice but to alter his stance mid-motion, opting to defend.
Under the relentless pressure of the dual blades, the false Sword God was forced to retreat step by step.
Their techniques and strength were perfectly identical.
Yet precisely because they were identical, there was no room for comparison beyond that!
When the magnitude is exactly the same, quantity becomes the absolute difference!
Sword Step!
Another Sword Step!
The false Sword God repeatedly employed the Sword Step, narrowly escaping Eiji's blade time and again.
He had no choice but to flee.
If he didn't, his neck would be slashed, his chest pierced, or his arm severed.
In such an intensely matched duel, even the slightest injury was terrifying—it meant a reduction in total muscle mass.
For a swordsman relying on instantaneous maximum acceleration, any loss of muscle equated to a decrease in power, which was utterly fatal!
Thus, under the relentless assault of Eiji's dual-wielding style, the false Sword God could only retreat continuously, steadily draining the creator's magical power.
This was Eiji's true objective.
The false Sword God was consuming Sara's magical energy.
And Sara, having expended most of her energy to create the false Sword God, would inevitably be drained dry by its continuous consumption.
All battles between Blazers are fundamentally based on magical power!
Once magical power reaches zero, the battle is over!
"Strange, why does this feel off?"
Eiji's intuition screamed within him.
If this continued, he would find himself in a dire situation.
While suppressing his false self, Eiji momentarily diverted his attention, scanning his surroundings.
Then his pupils abruptly contracted!
At the edge of the combat arena.
Sara's eyes gleamed brightly.
Her hands moved back and forth through the air, her spiritual tool brush dipped in various pigments, painting recklessly in mid-air.
And the outline of the figure taking shape before her—
Eiji's expression tightened. He immediately abandoned the false version of himself and charged toward Sara at top speed!
It was a purely instinctive reaction.
A raw, physical instinct triggered by entering an excited combat state and sensing a threat!
He even forgot his earlier promise to let Sara prepare without worry.
His sole aim was to interrupt her painting at that very moment!
This alone proved just how much he feared the figure she was creating.
But things did not go as planned.
As he rushed toward Sara, a long sword suddenly thrust from behind.
Eiji had no choice but to turn and block.
The false Sword God had caught up from behind, his expressionless face now appearing stubbornly determined.
His goal was singular: to prevent Eiji from interrupting!
To stop Eiji, he even resorted to using his divine speed ability!
To avoid forcing a stalemate, Eiji now hesitated to use his own ability, leaving him constrained.
In the brief moment he was held back by his false self,
Sara had finished her painting.
The figure before her had become clearly visible.
"Th-that is...!?"
Kaieda's horrified cry suddenly erupted from the broadcast.
On the field.
A silver-white Valkyrie stood protectively in front of Sara.
Clad in pure white attire, with a face of peerless beauty, and dual swords resembling crosses.
Her silver hair fluttered in the wind.
Though her expression was blank, there was no doubt—it was undoubtedly—
"〈Twin-Wings〉 Edelweiss! The one who crushed 300,000 modern troops head-on, forced both the Alliance and Coalition to revoke their bounties, achieved unprecedented compromises—the world's strongest swordswoman, and also its most vicious criminal!"
Legend tells she is the ultimate destination of all sword paths, the final culmination of all sword arts, the absolute peak of all swordsmen!
Every swordsman in the world aims to reach her level.
At this moment.
Twin-Wings stood blocking Eiji's path.
While the Sword God barred his retreat.
"The world's two strongest swordsmen have simultaneously become the Sword God's enemies!!"
