The Epic Story of the Heroic Spirit of Emiya Giant Warrior

At the same time, Ryu also didn't expect that Shirou's first work would be forged for her.

She wasn't happy about obtaining a first-class armament, but because she felt the boy's feelings, especially with the blessing of the goddess Astrea within.

Lycoris Radiata and Swallow Reversal, these were the names given to the two swords by the goddess Astrea.

These are a pair of longswords with similar designs. Lycoris Radiata is slightly shorter, with a length of three shaku (approximately 90 cm), while Swallow Reversal is longer, nearing four shaku (approximately 120 cm).

Ais Wallenstein's Crimson Order is a top-tier second-class armament, and Kaguya's Lycoris Radiata is even a treasure passed down within the Gojo family. Because every opponent who enters its attack range ends up splattering blood like flowers, it earned this sword name, and can be said to be a national treasure-level famous sword.

The Lycoris Radiata forged by Shirou, although sharing the same name as Kaguya's weapon, actually has no relation to it. The Lycoris Radiata he forged exists to carry the magic Red Chickweed.

At the same time, with Red Chickweed attached, Lycoris Radiata also possesses a Magic Release ability—it can continuously accumulate the energy of Red Chickweed during battle, and then release it at a critical moment, exchanging it for a tremendous increase in power for a short period.

Because True Flame Burst would trigger a deep crimson karma flame storm, like a blooming flower of death, this sword was ultimately named Lycoris Radiata.

Wind Barrier, a C-rank Noble Phantasm, is a barrier that covers the sword's body by using layers of wind to change the refractive index of light.

Furthermore, in addition to attaching wind blades to the sword's edge, it can also instantly release the condensed air, using it as a group-targeting piercing weapon, Wind Hammer, to sweep away enemies.

The magic Red Chickweed adds fire, and both fire and wind are active elements. Although it doesn't have the effect of concealing the blade, fire can give the weapon greater power, and the Noble Phantasm Wind Barrier can be completely used as a reference.

Shirou doesn't know that in the Labyrinth City, there is a swordsman who possesses an additional magic called Wind Spirit's Swift Step, who is actually more suited to Wind Barrier.

Compared to Lycoris Radiata, the other sword, Swallow Reversal, has a higher actual strength.

This is the strongest technique in the Astrea Familia Record, and also the strongest magic possessed by former Astrea Familia members.

Five Lights is a secret technique passed down by the Gojo family for a thousand years. It is a killing technique that can only be used by combining the eponymous magic with skills honed to the extreme. This kind of sword technique can almost be called the strongest sword for slaying people in this world.

That which even Shirou, with his Born Sword Body, cannot imitate with projection, Sasaki Kojiro, who reached the highest realm of swordsmanship, Emptiness, his secret sword—Swallow Reversal.

This unleashes blades approaching from three directions, simultaneously severing the opponent and directly taking their head. Strictly speaking, this is neither a Noble Phantasm nor a phenomenon borrowing the power of magic. Originally, it was a technique developed to cut down swallows in mid-air.

The attack method of Five Lights is similar to Swallow Reversal. The sword light unleashed by the former is even two strikes more than the latter, but its essence and the logic of its realization are not completely the same.

Therefore, Five Lights seems to be swordsmanship, but in essence, it is magic, the result of a highly specialized application of magic power.

However, these two also have something in common, that is, their extremely similar technique effects, and their equal pursuit of swordsmanship skills and realm.

The patron deity of the Gojo family is Konohanasakuya-hime. The original source of Five Lights is very likely the divine will of this Sakura Goddess's Blooming Moment—in the myths and legends known to Shirou, Konohanasakuya-hime represents prosperity and wealth like blooming flowers, and also symbolizes life as short as flowers.

The goddess Astrea named the forged sword Swallow Reversal.

At this moment, Gale seems to be accompanied by thousands of troops.

One sword to punish evil, one sword to鎮压 the soul.

Ryu whispered, this was the inscription engraved on a corner of the sword box, a message from the goddess Astrea.

Seeing this, Shirou asked: Ryu, do you need time to adapt to the new weapon?

Ryu decisively said: Tonight, we can act!

Shirou Emiya, the goddess Astrea, Ais Wallenstein, Kaguya... Ryu felt the will of these most important people to her from these two blades.

Even if it's not a deadly battle, surpassing the Sword Princess of the same level, she will definitely gain experience points. Even if her ability values don't increase much, every point increase will increase her chances of victory in battle.

Chapter 100: Undercurrents

Labyrinth City, Pleasure Quarter.

Among them, besides the adventurers of the Loki Familia, there are also members of the Ganesha Familia, as well as several high-level blacksmiths from the Hephaestus Familia.

There are many male adventurers addicted to the Pleasure Quarter, even high-level adventurers from large familias are no exception, perhaps only the Freya Familia is an exception.

Adventurers who engage in dangerous work all day long must have their desires vented, otherwise it may indirectly lead to an increase in crime. The Pleasure Quarter is the object for those strong men to vent their animalistic desires.

Where there is demand, there is a market, and prostitutes automatically gather in this Labyrinth City, the center of the world.

Shyness, excitement, nervousness... Ryu's feelings were complex at this moment, with joy taking precedence.

"Try these two swords, Ryu."

Emiya said, "The one with the red sheath is called [Higanbana], and the black one is called [Swallow Returns]."

In addition, they each have another name: [Sword of Alise] and [Sword of Kaguya].

When designing these two swords, Emiya referenced the weapons of [Red Rose] Alise Lovell and [Gentian] Gojo Kaguya.

Ryu inherited their power through the [Astraea Records] magic, so Alise and Kaguya's weapons are perfect for Ryu to use to fully unleash the power of the magic.

However, Emiya only used [Crimson Order] and [Higanbana] as references. Although they are excellent armaments, they cannot compare to the "swords" in the myths and legends known to Emiya.

It can completely concentrate the power of the fire attribute magic [Red Spider Lily] on the blade, which can increase the power and prevent this dangerous additional magic from harming the user.

The ultimate form of [Magic Release] is [True Flame Burst], which is a destructive attack that can be unleashed when the fire attribute magic of [Red Spider Lily] is accumulated and compressed to the limit.

When forging [Higanbana], Emiya referenced King Arthur Artoria Pendragon's Noble Phantasm [Invisible Air].

Through this barrier, the opponent cannot recognize the distance and trajectory of the sword moves to attack. At the same time, it can enhance the attack power by using the wind as a blade wrapped around the sword; and the "invisible weapon" brings an advantage to the hit rate.

It can be said that [Invisible Air] is a Noble Phantasm with a low rank, but a strong effect, and a very high cost performance.

As a result, [Higanbana] is no longer just a first-class weapon. In the hands of the three who can use the magic [Red Spider Lily], this is at least a C-rank Noble Phantasm.

But even knowing it is useless, he doesn't have the resources to create weapons for others yet.

If [Higanbana] was born for the magic [Red Spider Lily], then [Swallow Returns], born from the katana [Futaba], corresponds to the magic [Five Lights].

Undoubtedly, Alise surpasses Kaguya in terms of overall strength as an adventurer, but Alise's advantage lies in cheat-like skills and magic, while Kaguya is stronger.

And despite the difference in specifications and levels, the [Five Lights], which unleashes five godspeed slashes at the same time, inevitably reminded Emiya of that similar sword move.

Chapter 99: One Sword to Kill Evil, One Sword to Suppress Souls.

[Tsubame Gaeshi], a Noble Phantasm whose existence cannot be limited or described by rank.

It flashes from the real world, and then overlaps two flashes completely simultaneously, ignoring the concepts of time and space, resulting in slashes from three directions. That is a "multi-dimensional refraction phenomenon" that transcends speed, precision, and feints.

The magic [Five Lights] is to solidify the concept of "Iai Katana" into the bloodline of [Gojo] through the power of God's Grace, and then drive the specialized magic through the ultimate skill, and instantly unleash a net of sword light.

And [Tsubame Gaeshi] has nothing to do with magic. It is simply that the swordsmanship has reached the level of "one thought connects with ghosts and gods", so that it transcends the limits of space and time.

Emiya's view is that [Tsubame Gaeshi] is the result of the highest realm of swordsmanship, while [Five Lights] is a plan to make up for the shortcomings with specialized magic when it is impossible to reach that realm.

This is Emiya's guess. Kaguya has passed away, and he has no way to verify this idea. However, regardless of whether it is true or false, it does not prevent him from forging the blade with the concept of "one thought blossoms".

Crimson Sword [Higanbana], Jet-Black Sword [Swallow Returns], seemingly swords, yet seemingly people. Ryu accepted the two swords and the sword box from Emiya. She carried the sword box on her back, and hung the two long swords on her waist.

"O righteous inheritor of the Astraea Familia, those who have passed away will be with you."

"No need."

She didn't even take the blades out of their sheaths. Just by holding the hilts, Ryu was convinced that these were the perfect weapons for her.

"As long as I have your support, I'm not afraid of anything, I can overcome anything!"

Before night fell, Ryu went to update her ability values with Goddess Astraea.

However, Goddess Astraea concealed it very well, so Ryu never noticed the troubled expression that the goddess occasionally showed behind her...

A group of male adventurers led by the [Extraordinary Husband] Raul Nord were heading towards the VIP area deep in the pleasure district.

In addition to Raul, a Level 4 second-class adventurer, there were also three Level 3 adventurers and several other Level 2 upper-class adventurers.

In Orario, the demand for prostitutes is very high.

Orario, which gathers many powerful adventurers, has a thriving red-light industry.

The managing organization, the Guild, also recognizes the existence of the red-light district for the safety of the citizens and to prevent adventurers from venting their stress on the city.
