Feeling the experience transmitted from the Intetsu in his hand, even Shirou was moved. This man had walked very far on the path of the sword. The experience gained from this Intetsu allowed Shirou to understand the sword more deeply.
"Reading experiences?" Looking at Shirou, bathed in light from the streetlamp, holding two swords, Ikki Kurogane's face was filled with a bitter smile. As an expert in stolen techniques, he had always been the one learning from others. But he never expected that one day, he would be the one being learned from. It was truly a karmic cycle, retribution, indeed!
But these were not the most frustrating things for Ikki Kurogane. The truly frustrating part was: "Can Emiya-kun's projected Device use the original Blazer's anomaly?" Whether or not it could use the original Blazer's anomaly was Ikki Kurogane's concern. Although Devices and anomalies were two different things, they were closely related. For example, an anomaly's activation required the Device to be in hand.
Another example is that the dium for so anomaly activations is their own Device. Therefore, with the close connection between Devices and anomalies, Ikki Kurogane was very worried that Shirou could even replicate the original Blazer's anomaly.
"Oh, so that's what you're worried about?" Raising the Intetsu in his hand towards Ikki Kurogane, Shirou said with a smile, "Want to try Itto Shura?"
"As I thought!" Ikki Kurogane beca even more helpless.
In that case, he couldn't use Itto Shura. Itto Shura was a technique that involved destroying one's survival instinct and channeling all of one's power into a single minute. During that minute, Ikki Kurogane could squeeze out the magic power deep within his soul and boost his physical attributes tenfold. But now that Shirou had also learned this technique, if he were to use it, the other party would definitely use it too.
As is well known, if two objects with a difference in power are both increased tenfold simultaneously, their difference will also increase tenfold. Facing such an opponent, recklessly using Itto Shura would only lead to self-destruction.
Tightening his grip on his sword, Ikki Kurogane gradually cald his mind. Now was not the ti for surprise.
"Then I'll go first!"
"Please do!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ikki Kurogane charged towards Shirou. For him, once he entered a combat state, he wouldn't think about anything else. After all, there was no room for hesitation on his sword.
"What a beautiful offensive posture!" Looking at the figure attacking him, Shirou couldn't help but praise. After reading countless weapon experiences, although he himself hadn't gone very far on the path of the sword, in terms of insight, he was definitely a top-notch individual.
Ikki Kurogane's current offensive posture was so beautiful that even among the experiences Shirou had deciphered, there weren't many that could compare. Ikki Kurogane's swordsmanship was extrely skilled. How skilled? From Intetsu, Shirou saw his self-created Seven Secret Swords.
[First Secret Sword: Shinuchi] [Second Secret Sword: Raikou] [Third Secret Sword: Shiden] [Fourth Secret Sword: Tsuruga] [Fifth Secret Sword: Murakumo] [Sixth Secret Sword: Oboro] [Seventh Secret Sword: A-no-Murakumo]
These seven secret swords were super-strong secret swords born from Ikki Kurogane's integration of countless sword techniques. But these were not all;
Shirou knew that in the future, Ikki Kurogane would also have one ultimate secret sword: [Ultimate Secret Sword: Ouma].
Unlike the first seven secret swords, [Ouma] was a blow that truly reached the realm of a Desperado. The mont the blade moved, it connected a winning history that did not exist in the world through the Desperado's gravity, which was independent of the world's causality, welding its result to a world firmly bound by causality.
This was a blow that reversed causality. This blow, which possessed absolute causal control over the concept of "cutting," once unleashed, had no possibility of failure; it was an absolute killing blow. A person like Ikki Kurogane, even in the Type-Moon world, would undoubtedly be a Sword Saint-level figure. There was too much for Shirou to learn from such a person's understanding of the Way of the Sword.
"Then let's do this!" Facing Ikki Kurogane's slash, Shirou naturally t him head-on. And the mont their swords touched. Feeling the force transmitted through the sword, Ikki Kurogane's heart was filled with surprise.
How exaggerated was this person's strength? Neither of them had used magic power! With this single strike, Ikki Kurogane, who had a thorough understanding of his own body, instantly knew. His body was trembling violently. No, he couldn't clash head-on.
Understanding his weakness, Ikki Kurogane began to parry Shirou's attacks by redirecting force. And during this process, Ikki Kurogane also began to read Shirou's swordsmanship. This was the sword of a king who had fought on battlefields. Ikki Kurogane clearly felt that every strike, aid at his vital points, was filled with killing intent. A clash between a samurai's sword and a king's sword?
Ikki Kurogane was continuously absorbing new knowledge and experience in swordsmanship. In the darkness of the night, only streaks of sword light pierced through the blackness.
On this walking path, illuminated by streetlights. Two knights were demonstrating their martial prowess with the swords in their hands. In the silent late night, only the continuous clang of swords resounded. Shirou, wielding two swords, continuously attacked, while Ikki Kurogane, holding his sword with both hands, continuously defended. Between this offense and defense, both of their spirits were ignited.
"How is it? Have you learned enough?" Looking at the constantly defending Ikki Kurogane, Shirou, while
pressuring him with his sword, asked excitedly.
"Ah, it's done!"
"Then let experience your copied sword technique!"
"Then co and taste it!" Facing Shirou's provocation, Ikki Kurogane laughed and slashed back.
The next mont, Shirou felt the fact that his swordsmanship was being suppressed at every turn. Faced with Ikki Kurogane's swordsmanship, which was learned from him but surpassed his own, Shirou was greatly shocked.
Although he could read experiences, his learning progress
wasn't this fast! If he had this learning speed, he would have long since cut his way back. Feeling the fact that he was being suppressed, Shirou suddenly changed his sword style and once again pressured Ikki Kurogane.
"He actually changed his sword style?" Ikki Kurogane suddenly rembered that Shirou, who could read others' experiences, probably knew dozens of sword styles! This made Ikki Kurogane both helpless and excited. He was helpless because he simply couldn't gain an advantage against such a Shirou.
After all, with all his attributes weaker than Shirou's, he would only be suppressed unless he used a sword style that countered the opponent's. And once he used a sword style that countered the opponent's, the opponent would change their sword style.
If this continued, he would have no chance to turn the tables! As for excitent. In Shirou's hands, he could learn a lot of swordsmanship knowledge and experience he had never encountered before. These things were extrely important to him. In other words, in his battle with Shirou, Ikki Kurogane would continuously grow stronger.
After tossing Shirou's sword aside, Ikki Kurogane jumped back a bit and regulated his breathing.
"It seems this will be a long battle!" Looking at Ikki Kurogane, whose eyes were filled with fighting spirit, Shirou said with a smile.
"That's right!"
