DanMachi: Unlimited Blade Works

Killing intent, terrifying killing intent permeated the surrounding air. It even dyed the air red, leaving a bloody aura. Compared to Shirou's killing intent, Walenstin's killing intent was as inconspicuous as a candle in the light. It was like a small boat swaying in a storm. Only at this moment did Walenstin realize how absurd it was for him to try and shock the young man in front of him with killing intent.

"No, I can't let this continue. If this continues, my will will be destroyed by him." Thinking of this, Walenstin brandished the greatsword in his hand and shouted loudly: "Mountain Cleaver!" Looking at Walenstin, whose spirit and energy suddenly solidified, Shirou said calmly,.

"A Blazer Art, is it?" As a one-armed Sword Saint, Walenstin's swordsmanship was naturally superb.

Coupled with his powerful ability, he created this Blazer Art, Mountain Cleaver. Many Blazers who encountered him without knowing why died terribly. But this definitely did not include Shirou. Facing Walenstin's slash, Shirou merely moved his body slightly, and the slash grazed past him.

"You don't think you can play a trick on me with your ability, do you?"

"Don't you know my information?" Walenstin, of course, knew Shirou's information, and knew it very well. He could analyze the opponent's Noble Art through visual observation, thereby obtaining the structure of the opponent's weapon and the opponent's abilities.

Therefore, in front of him, any "first-strike kill" abilities were ineffective. Unless the assassination was completed before the opponent noticed your Noble Art. But this method was not suitable for him. He had originally intended to crush the opponent with absolute strength, but now it seemed that he was the one being crushed. For the current Walenstin, any means had to be tried. Even if it had no chance of winning.

"What a good ability, Walenstin. If it were anyone else just now, I would have already counterattacked!" From Walenstin's Noble Art, Shirou learned of his ability: Friction.

Strikes, slashes, gunshots. All forces existing in this world are related to friction. No matter how powerful a bullet is, if there is no friction at the point of impact, its penetration will fail and it will slide off the target. And if friction is used in an attack, it will turn into an invincible blade, capable of passing unhindered between the molecules of all matter. As an offense, it is a peerless sword; as a defense, it is a divine shield, all because it can manipulate the basis of all power friction. And this is the ability of Walenstin, the One-Armed Sword Saint.

"In that situation just now, whether it was a strike or a punch, all my attacks would probably have slid off you, truly a terrifying ability!"

"That's right, I am invincible!" Facing the powerful enemy in front of him, Walenstin attempted to intimidate the opponent with his ability, hoping to find a chance to survive. But unfortunately, his intention was instantly seen through by Shirou.

"Invincible? Not necessarily!"

"Perhaps physical attacks cannot harm your body, so what about large-scale magical attacks?"

"Like flames!" As Shirou's words fell, the surrounding air began to heat up continuously. In this high-temperature environment, Shirou's body was instantly covered in flames. Terrifying flames wrapped around Shirou's body, continuously spreading around him, finally burning fiercely in the air. Although the fire was fierce, Walenstin's mind was not focused on it. At this moment, he was attracted by the sight before him.

"He didn't even project a Noble Art, so where did these flames come from?" Walenstin was very surprised at this moment, after all, he had learned all the information about Shirou before coming here. He knew very well that Shirou needed to project other Noble Arts to unleash other abilities. But now, an anomaly had appeared. Is the information wrong? Has the opponent been hiding his information all along?

That's right, Shirou had indeed been hiding his information all along. After all, that was to make everything seem reasonable. But now, he had abandoned his persistence. As a price, Walenstin, who knew this, would surely die here. He had no hope of survival.

"Are you ready to die, One-Armed Sword Saint,

Walenstin!" Blazing flames were continuously burning on the divine sword Shirou held before his chest. And as Shirou made contact with the ground, the flames continuously spread. In the blink of an eye, they were everywhere. Walenstin, surrounded by flames, now felt a great sense of unease. He could clearly feel the opponent's killing intent. He, perhaps, wouldn't be able to escape.

"Burn!" On the raised divine sword, vast magic power continuously condensed, rotated, and coiled. The flames, transformed from vast magic power, continuously soared, finally forming a pillar of fire connecting heaven and earth. At this moment, Shirou's total magic power was no longer the C-rank total he had when he first arrived. Now, his total magic power far surpassed that of ordinary A-rank knights.

"This strike is Stella's proud ultimate technique. Let me use it to send you to your grave!"

"Blazing Heaven and Earth Dragon King Flame!" As the endless magic power was continuously compressed, compressed again, and compressed yet again, the sword of flames, now possessing infinite mass, instantly slashed down. The next moment, everything in front of Shirou was instantly enveloped.

"Damn it!" Startled by the attack before him, Walenstin, knowing he couldn't take it head-on, immediately tried to dodge. But just then, several chains suddenly emerged from the surrounding void, binding his hands and feet.

This was a Noble Art Shirou obtained from a certain senior. Combined with her ability, it could suddenly appear from the void to bind enemies. But unfortunately, this senior's magic power was not much, only E-rank.

Otherwise, as long as there was enough magic power, this chain could bind any enemy. Its name was: Void Chains.

Walenstin, bound, continuously struggled against the chains, but to no avail. The Void Chains tightly held him, unmoving. And he didn't have much time to struggle, because the flame slash had already arrived. The next moment, the flame slash instantly descended.

"Ah!!!" In a cry of agony, Walenstin was instantly

incinerated into ashes, no longer existing.

"This is your end, Walenstin!" After sighing at the no-longer-existent enemy, Shirou looked around at the environment. Under the flame slash, the surroundings had been turned into scorched earth. Especially the ground directly hit by the flame slash, where the earth was slowly flowing like magma.

"This strike is really good! Since I also play with fire, it's mine now!"

"In that case, I can't call it 'Blazing Heaven and Earth Dragon King Flame' anymore; it feels like a pirated version!"

"After all, in terms of flames alone, Stella's output at this moment can't keep up with mine!" Looking at the golden longsword in his hand, Shirou's mouth suddenly curved upwards.

"Since Artoria's Noble Phantasm is called Excalibur, then perhaps I should call this technique High Victory Sword!"

"Although it's the name of Riveria's magic, it's very fitting. I'm sure Riveria would also be pleased with this name!"
